THE SUPERPOWERS HURTLE TOWARDS
GLOBAL CONFLICT, IN THIS CHILLINGLY AUTHENTIC
VISION OF MODERN WARFARE FROM THE
WORLD'S #1 THRILLER WRITER

 
The Muslim terrorists who destroyed the Soviet Union's
largest petro-chemical plant thought they were striking a blow for
freedom. What they had done, unknowingly, was fire the first
shots in World War III.

 
Desperately short of oil, the Kremlin hawks see only one way of
solving their problem: seize supplies in the Persian Gulf. To do that,
they must first neutralize NATO's forces and eliminate their response
- and so they develop Red Storm, a dazzling master plan of
diplomatic subterfuge and intense re-armament.

 
The battle lines are drawn and Armageddon beckons...
 
'Packed with more nerve-shattering tension
than anything in print today ... gripping, audacious,
brilliant storytelling at its very best.'

WASHINGTON TIMES
 
'Frighteningly realistic ... I dare you to read
one chapter and put it down.'

NEW YORK NEWSDAY
 
'Graphic, exciting ... horribly convincing.'
