David Korman is a man with a reputation. In his day, he has
risked his life in service to both the United States and Israel
more times than he can count. By the time he reaches retirement, he
knows that the chaos and danger of his life will never be a thing
of the past. There are some jobs you can never really leave behind.
When a new terror appears, David must answer the call.
His challenge is to neutralize not one but two enemies of the
state: the first, a powerful group working to defraud the US
government out of billions, and the second, a terrorist group with
a major port city in its sights. He must rely on a lifetime of
instinct and intelligence in order to stop the plans to obliterate
the port, prevent the murder millions of American citizens with
radioactive agents, and foil the plot to steal the country's money.
The hunt is on for predators who won't think twice about
threatening Korman's family in order to safeguard their real
efforts.
Korman's quest takes him around the planet in pursuit of the
truth-and the people responsible for terror.

In September 1976, Viktor Belenko defected to Japan in his
MiG-25 Foxbat jet fighter, one of the most well-known defections
from the Soviet block. But in that same year, there was another
defection so embarrassing to the Soviets that its particulars
remained a secret for more than twenty-five years. All media
accounts of Soviet TU-95 flights participating in the Okean 76
naval maneuvers mention only two planes. Whenever they were
confronted in private, however, the Soviets acknowledged that in
reality, "three" planes took off from Russia, with the third
aircraft crashing at sea, killing everyone aboard. Since it sank in
deep waters, no one attempted to salvage the wreck.
But what the Soviet authorities never acknowledged publicly or
privately was that the third TU-95 made a bold and risky flight
from the USSR to Canada. Because its crew defected, the Soviets
never admitted that such an event happened. "Bear: Flight to
Liberty" tells the third crew s thrilling story.
"BEAR" is the product of Vargas-Caba s meticulous research into
the Soviet Armed Forces and provides an authenticity few books on
the subject can match. His careful marshalling of real-world facts
to develop his work of fiction makes "BEAR" an exciting read for
anyone who wants to remember how much was at stake during the Cold
War.
Nate Braden, co-author of "The Last Sentry"

airborne escape. To do so, he must convince his crew to leave with
him, develop a viable flight plan and avoid the potentially fatal

The author tells Mikhail s tale with meticulous care; his account
is thoroughly detailed and filled with the depth of research that
turns rough histories into credible recreations. Kirkus

tyranny-contacts the British naval intelligence service in hopes of
defecting to London. His escape plan calls for a rendezvous at an

kidnapper. The second novel in J. H. Gelernter's already lauded

is "smart, fast, twisty, and dangerous" (Lee Child) in a "richly
imagined early nineteenth-century world" (Richard Snow).
