THE RED HORSEMAN
Promoted to deputy director of a new U.S. intelligence agency, the
stakes of Jake Grafton's commission are higher than ever before. With
the USSR 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:
Not everyone supposedly on his side wants him to succeed.
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
nuclear weapons remain poorly secured.
CUBA
In Cuba, an ailing Fidel Castro lies dying. Across the Straits of
Florida, an anxious US awaits the inevitable power struggle, determined
to have a say in who controls this strategically invaluable island. And
the American President has an added reason for concern: an Arms Control
Conference has just begun in Paris and, unbeknownst to either the
American public or Cuba, the US has hidden secret weapons inside the
American base on Cuba's Guantanemo Bay. But no secret remains one for
long, and when one of the Cuban factions finds out about the weapons,
the excitement begins.
Only Admiral Grafton, on an aircraft carrier off the coast of Cuba,
knows the impending danger. Only Grafton can save America from a
disaster that would make the Bay of Pigs look like child's play. In
Cuba, Stephen Coonts captures the ominous feel of a tropical powderkeg
about to explode in a novel filled with the action and drama for which
he is famous.
