Социалистических Республик (CCCP). A now ex-KGB officer holds a US prisoner from the first book, David Luger, who is forced to collaborate on aircraft design at a facility in Lithuania. With the collapse of the USSR and Lithuania now an independent democracy with facilities due to be handed back to the country the ex-KGB officer hatches a scheme with a Byelorussian General to invade Lithuania. In the midst of this Patrick McLanahan & a squad of US Marines go in to rescue David Luger. Action ensues.

It's a good fast paced novel with lots of action. Like other Dale Brown books there's a lot of technical and military information but not to the point where it detracts from the story, and not in a manner that is fanciful or absurd.

Highly entertaining.
