Equations of Life (Samuil Petrovitch, 1) by Morden, Simon. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780316125185.

Winner of the 2012 Philip K. Dick Award Samuil Petrovitch is a survivor. He survived the nuclear fallout in St. Petersburg and hid in the London Metrozone -- the last city in England. Hes lived this long because hes a man of rules and logic. For example, getting involved = a bad idea. But when he stumbles into a kidnapping in progress, he acts without even thinking. Before he can stop himself, hes saved the daughter of the most dangerous man in London. And clearly saving the girl = getting involved. Now, the equation of Petrovitchs life is looking increasingly complex. Russian mobsters + Yakuza + something called the New Machine Jihad = one dead Petrovitch. But Petrovitch has a plan -- he always has a plan -- hes just not sure its a good one.
