description:
There
dwells, somewhere in Russia, a man so powerful no one even
knows his name. His existence is only speculated upon, only
whispered
about in American corridors of power and CIA strategy meetings. Though
he is all but invisible, he is pulling strings -- and pulling them
hard. For suddenly, Russia is a far, far more ominous threat than even
the most hardened cold warriors ever thought possible.
The
Russians have their finger on the switch to the European economy
and an
eye on the American jugular. And, most importantly, they want to be
made whole again. Should America interfere with Russia's plans to
"reintegrate" her rogue states, well then, America will pay in blood.
In
Ted Bell's latest pulse-pounding and action-packed tour de force,
Alex
Hawke must face a global nightmare of epic proportions. As this
political crisis plays out, Russia gains a new leader. Not just a
president, but a new tsar, a signal to the world that the old, imperial
Russia is back and plans to have her day. And in America, a mysterious
killer, known only as Happy the Baker, brutally murders an innocent
family and literally flattens the small Midwestern town they once
called home. Just a taste, according to the new tsar, of what will
happen if America does not back down. Onto this stage must step Alex
Hawke, espionage agent extraordinaire and the only man, both Americans
and the Brits agree, who can stop the absolute madness borne and bred
inside the modern police state of Vladimir Putin's 'New Russia'.
