Pure fiction.

When this was written Coonts probably meant is a plausible political and military thriller, but with the benefit of hindsight it is very much a work of fiction. One thing that makes the Grafton books easy to read is that even the dilemmas are very black and white. The bad guys of the time are bad guys and not much else. When something is derelict, there is no beautiful flower to protect.

I gave this 3 stars and though I would like to give less, I cannot deny that it made for a smooth, enjoyable read, despite all the flaws. It worked as a distraction from real life and with everything so obviously being fiction (almost like science fiction), there was no worries triggered about the actual world we live in. (

This book finally got interesting after I struggled through the first half. Maybe I'm just not that into politics and all the things involved but this book was really a hard book to get into. The flight scene was the best action in the entire book. Otherwise, pretty dull stuff. I am so glad he explained things through Jake's wife at the end or I would have missed the significance of what happened at the end. Not a very impressive book in my opinion. (

Jake and Toad save the world, again. This time in Russia during the 90s with a nuclear meltdown, a dog fight between an attack airplane and a fighter, killings in the streets and a pesky reporter. Action galore. Where's my next Coonts book? (

Like Tom Clancy without the restraint. Also, if you're writing fiction, maybe having two of your three main characters named "Jack" and "Jake" is a bit confusing. (

Admiral Jake Grafton gets involved in a plot to destabilize Russia and to steal nuclear weapons. Sad am Husain is buying nuclear missiles from some old Russian politicians. The people destroy a nuclear power plant and cause the worst radiation leak ever. (
