It's 1985. The Soviet Union has a new plan. To destroy the United States in one decisive instant, by smuggling 25 nuclear bombs into the country and detonating them simultaneously. Thereby eliminating command and control, and any retaliation by the nuclear forces of the United States. A bold plan by a ruthless Soviet leadership. Still, whatever the means, the world without the United States would be ripe for the expansion of communism and the creation of a new human utopia. Where everyone worked together toward a common goal.
Nuclear bombs were loaded onto submarines and delivered to remote coastal areas of the U.S. to be deployed to critical areas and bases. Jekyll Island Georgia was one of those destinations, and offloading had begun in the middle of the night. There was only one glitch. Susan and Gary Mitchell were having a fight, a lover's quarrel that caused her to run away onto the beach in the middle of the night. Gary followed, trying to apologize and bring her in out of the rain. They saw the submarine and something being moved to shore. What should they do?
This was my first novel, written in 1985 during the Cold War. Tom Clancy was very popular with "The Hunt for Red October" and was my inspiration. I think my story is still pertinent today, and as a historical novel, represents the apprehension all Americans lived with back then. With the Russian Federation is becoming more hostile these days, and we know their leaders are ruthless. Perhaps it is good to remember the Cold War and what could still happen. Get ready for a thriller. I hope you are entertained and buy my book.
