Mission Critical: A Cold War Novel (Navy SEAL Grant Stevens)

• TRIPLE RISK - #13 IN THE GRANT STEVENS SERIES IS AVAILABLE

     It's the Cold War.  American intelligence has intercepted radio messages between the notoriously rival Chinese and Russian governments. SR-71 recon images show Chinese troops massing along North Korea's border with South Korea. With a possible invasion imminent, South Korea requests America to intercede. The carrier USS John Preston and her battle group receive orders to proceed to the Sea of Japan. Within the group is the USS Bronson, the newest, most sophisticated destroyer in the world. On board is a satellite-based weapons system of unimaginable power.     Commander Grant Stevens -- Navy SEAL and intelligence officer -- is assigned to the Black Ops division of the Naval Investigative Service. The Chief of NIS has ordered him to attend a meeting with SecDef and the Joint Chiefs. After reviewing intel and SR-71 images, he voices his opinion. The buildup is nothing more than a ruse. The communists are after the Bronson.     Stevens teams up with his friend, Senior Chief Joe Adler, aboard the Preston. The two will find themselves confronting Russian commandos and an old KGB nemesis, while trying to hunt down a communist mole. Their mission:  prevent the capture of the Bronson and stop the conspiracy -- a conspiracy that may penetrate the heart of the Navy itself.
