" La Russie est une maison de fous. Personne ne sait ce qui s'y passe, pas même Eltsine ". A la DIA - les services secrets de la Défense américaine - on n'hésite pas à dire brutalement ce que les autres feignent d'ignorer. Et en particulier que les armes nucléaires disséminées sur tout le territoire de l'ex-URSS sont à vendre au plus offrant. Mais qui les vend ? Et à qui ? C'est pour le savoir, à tout prix, que Jake Grafton débarque à Moscou. Et le trafic qu'il va découvrir, où des éléments de la CIA n'ont pas hésité à faire alliance avec la vieille garde communiste, donnera froid dans le dos à cet officier de valeur, qui a méthodiquement appris, naguère, comment exterminer plusieurs millions d'êtres humains en quelques secondes. Jamais, depuis la chute du régime soviétique, le monde n'avait été si près de la désintégration finale. Et jamais le romancier du Vol de l'Intruder et d'Etat de siège ne s'était montré aussi bien renseigné, aussi terriblement convaincant...

Fidel Castro se meurt. De l'autre côté du détroit de Floride, les Etats-Unis attendent avec appréhension l'inévitable lutte pour le pouvoir qui va se jouer sur cette île d'une inestimable valeur stratégique. Une raison supplémentaire inquiète le président américain : la conférence sur le contrôle des armements vient juste de commencer à Paris alors que les Etats-Unis ont dissimulé des armes secrètes sur leur base de Guantanamo Bay. Comment les faire disparaître ? Une des factions cubaines n'en a-t-elle pas découvert l'existence ? Seul le contre-amiral Grafton, à la tête d'un porte-avions au large de Cuba, a conscience du danger qu'il va devoir affronter. Lui seul peut sauver les Etats-Unis d'un désastre qui ferait passer la crise de la baie des Cochons pour une partie de plaisir.

The Vietnam War is finally over but for Lt. Jake Grafton, just back from two harrowing combat cruises, his own country seems almost as hostile. When his fists get him in trouble, he lands an excruciating eight-month cruise on the aircraft carrier Columbia teaching jarheads - Marines - the nuances of carrier aviation. Taking off from and landing on a slippery flight deck, on a choppy sea, in a pitch-black night, there is no room for error - or animosity. And while these Marines have Jake wishing he was back fighting the VC, he'll have to learn to live with them. For they must fly together in the same cockpit, and make split-second decisions that hurtle them towards their common goals: excellence - and survival.

As Carmellini delves deep undercover he finds he is running for his life. Grafton and Carmellini uncover a horrifying plan to shake the West as never before--and a catch 22: can they stop the conspiracy without compromising the intelligence source that could bring down Al Qaeda once and for all?
