14th July 1924: In a Warsaw buried under feet of snow and Russian rule, Venyedikt Yeroslavsky, a dissolute young Polish mathematician, is roused from his bed by two officials from the Ministry of Winter and dispatched to Siberia in search of his long-exiled father. Boarding the Trans-Siberian Express, Venyedikt embarks on an extraordinary journey through a frozen realm, through political, criminal, scientific, philosophical and amorous intrigues to finally stand face to face with something utterly alien. The catalyst for this frosty metamorphosis of 20th Century history is the impact of the Tunguska asteroid, deep in Siberia, in 1908.
