The Jihadists' Revenge

This is author John Sager's third sequel to his first novel, Night Flight. The year is 1982 and the Cold War has reached its highest level of tension. Four dedicated Muslim jihadists lay a web of intricate planning which, if successful, will destroy the American embassy's eleven-story building in Moscow, killing all or most of its inhabitants with the devastating explosion of a home-made truck bomb. At the same time, two influential Muslim members of the Soviet Union's Politburo have persuaded their colleagues to authorize the detonation of a nuclear warhead, many miles above the earth; its electromagnetic pulse will destroy every item on the ground below that relies on electricity, rendering the United States helpless for months to come. Through several penetrations of key Soviet institutions, the Central Intelligence Agency's Moscow station becomes aware of these plans and has barely six months to defeat them. If it fails, hundreds of innocent Americans will die and the Soviet Union will stake its claim as the world's sole remaining superpower. The author, for more than fifty years a CIA operations officer in its Clandestine Service, tells the story as few others could, having served many years in the Soviet Union and the Muslim world.
