Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Captain Jeffrey Fuller's last mission forced him to sacrifice the lives of good men in order to secure a victory, a tactical decision he fears may have ended his career. Now an opportunity for redemption has come that will pit Fuller against his former Cold War adversaries. Russia, officially neutral, is clandestinely supplying the Axis powers with advanced weapons technology, and the former superpower must be punished. Fuller's mission is clear: navigate his fast attack nuclear submarine, USS Challenger, through the mine-strewn and sub-patrolled waters between Alaska and Siberia, sneak a team of commandos into Russia, and launch a nuclear missile . . . against his own country!

It's an all-or-nothing gambit, with no room for error. If successful, the Allies will destroy the missile and pressure the Russians into an alliance. A failure means a political disaster, an Axis victory, and perhaps a full-blown nuclear holocaust.

But either way, the war will be over, even if it means the end of America . . .

Synopsis:

The Allied Powers continue their uncertain and deadly war against the Fascist Berlin–Boer Axis. The Russians remain ostensibly neutral––but their actions hint at something far more dangerous. When the U.S. discovers that the Russians are providing the Axis powers with weapons technology that could shift the balance of power, Captain Jeffrey Fuller, one of the most decorated heroes in the U.S. Navy, is called in to put an end to this potentially catastrophic Russian involvement.

The plan to punish Russia is audacious. It is bold. And it is potentially suicidal. Jeffrey Fuller's orders are to clandestinely transport commandos to Russia, where they will infiltrate a nuclear missile facility, and fire one of their weapons––at the United States. If the plan is successful, the commandos, posing as German forces, will destroy the missile at it reaches the atmosphere, creating a dramatic shift in global politics and forcing Russia to ally with the United States against Germany.

Synopsis:

In his latest adventure, newly promoted Captain Jeffery Fuller takes on his most dangerous mission yet, as he leads a team of commandos to Russia to fire a nuclear missile--against his own country.
