Harold Coyle pens a timely and brilliantly written novel of action that sweeps readers into the heat of the battle as U.S. and Soviet troops are drawn, despite glasnost , into a rapidly escalating North African war between Egypt and Libya. In the not-too-distant future, an assassination attempt by Libyan terrorists sparks an Egyptian retaliatory raid across borders. As the conflict intensifies, U.S. and Soviet troops are drawn into the battle, bringing the front-line soldiers of both sides into daring commando raids and horrific nerve gas attacks.
