Description

Fiction. Thriller. HTML: As the USSR collapses, thousands of nuclear warheads may end up in the wrong hands in this thriller from the New York Times�??bestselling author of The Art of War. Jake Grafton has been promoted to deputy director of a new US intelligence agency�??and the stakes of his commission are higher than ever before. With the Soviet Union on the brink of dissolution, a vast nuclear arsenal is suddenly ripe for the taking by mercenaries, rogue nations, and insane Russian nationalists. Grafton must stop them, and he may have to do it alone�??because not everyone supposedly on his side wants him to succeed. From the "masterful storyteller" whose blockbuster tales of international suspense include Flight of the Intruder and Liars & Thieves, The Red Horseman is a startling vision of the apocalyptic danger that emerged at the end of the Cold War, a threat that still exists wherever weapons of mass destruction remain poorly secured. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Stephen Coonts, including rare photos from the author's personal collection.… (more)

Admiral Jake Grafton gets involved in a plot to destabilize Russia and to steal nuclear weapons. Sad am Husain is buying nuclear missiles from some old Russian politicians. The people destroy a nuclear power plant and cause the worst radiation leak ever.

Like Tom Clancy without the restraint. Also, if you're writing fiction, maybe having two of your three main characters named "Jack" and "Jake" is a bit confusing.

Jake and Toad save the world, again. This time in Russia during the 90s with a nuclear meltdown, a dog fight between an attack airplane and a fighter, killings in the streets and a pesky reporter. Action galore. Where's my next Coonts book?
