Description

A military revolt in southeastern Russia puts a former hard-line Soviet leader in command of a ballistic missile submarie and its arsenal of nuclear weapons. His goal is to re-ignite the communist revolution and recapture the might and glory of the fallen Soviet Union. Without warning, Russia, Japan, and the United States become hostages in a scheme of international nuclear blackmail. When the warheads start falling and people begin dying, no one can pretend that it's a bluff. As the Earth show more rushes toward extinction, a lone U.S. Navy warship must penetrate the Siberian ice pack to destroy the submarine before it can destroy the world. show less

This book deserves a 6th star.

I received a free copy of The Seventh Angel from GoodReads to review.

This is the first book I've read by Jeff Edwards but it's certainly not going to be the last. I intend to read each and every one of them. The Seventh Angel reminds me of the early Clancy novels but with a more readable style. Edwards adroitly handles multiple locations and principals and leavens the book with accurate and engaging technical detail without going overboard, so to speak. I can't recommend this book enough.

This book is a thrilling exploration of the military and political dimensions of a direct nuclear threat to the USA and its allies. The suspense and drama are palpable as you turn the pages, not willing to stop because you show more become so involved with the well drawn characters. Compelling to say the least. show less
