Set in South Africa of the early 1990s, this military thriller has fascist ultraconservative Afrikaners staging a coup and taking over the Pretoria government. The new government then re-institutes apartheid and invades bordering Namibia. A Communist counterforce led by the Cubans is mounted, as internal revolt and harsh suppression breed domestic chaos. A Boer nuclear attack on the Cubans is answered by nerve gas from the Cubans. A daring raid by US Rangers destroys the Afrikaner weapons before they can be used again, while U.S. and British ground forces restore order after much fighting and destruction. “The techno-thriller has a new ace, and his name is Larry Bond.” – Tom Clancy, Author of “Clear and Present Danger” “Military adventure on grand scale … and intricate and compelling thriller that is pure Bond in great form. Larry Bond has proven himself the master of military adventure.” – Clive Cussler, Bestselling author of “Dragon” “Techno-thriller fans rejoice! Larry Bond is good – very, very good. I started sweating on the first page.” – Stephen Coonts, Bestselling author of “Under Siege” “A gripping military scenario novel. As timely as today’s headlines.” – W.E.B Griffin, Bestselling author of “Battleground”
