Fiction. Suspense. HTML: It's a mission that could bring the world to the brink of nuclear war. Now time is running out. It starts with a high-stakes theft: weapons-grade plutonium is stolen from Russia. The Russian army is about to attack Chechnya to get it back.

It is a high stakes game of who has stolen Russia's weapons-grade plutonium and where will it be used. The US Navy goes on a very dangerous mission to sink the freighter with the plutonium, not knowing it was also carrying several orphans on board. When they seek to save the children they will be captured by the Russians and await trial to be executed. But while this is going on, the plutonium is still in the hands of those who are seeking to destroy a huge mass of people. It will keep you reading to see what happens and when will it happen and how will it happen. Never a dull moment in this book.
