When Daniel Kalder, acclaimed author of Lost Cosmonaut, descended into the sewers of Moscow in pursuit of the mythical lost city of tramps, he didnt realise that he was embarking on a bizarre, year-long odyssey that would lead him thousands of miles across Russia to the Arctic Circle via the heart of Asia. After exploring the depths of Moscows Underground Planet, Kalder chases down demons and exorcists in a post-Orange Revolution Ukraine, meets Vissaron Christ, one-time traffic cop, now messiah to thousands of followers in Siberia, enters the only wooden skyscraper on the planet and encounters a man with a bizarre secret that may explain everything . . .
Daniel Kalder was born in Dumfermline and currently lives in Texas. His first book, Lost Cosmonaut, was published in 2006.
