Unrevised Russians snatch an American Stealth bomber and park it in
Cuba. Techno-thrills and diplomatic chills from the author of
Defcon One (1989). Political upheaval in the erstwhile evil empire
continues to complicate the technothriller industry, rendering more
than a few plots obsolete before they can make it into print. To
cope with the dilemma, technowriters have come to rely heavily on
the dissenting-faction-in-the-Soviet-power-structure gambit. This
time the dissenting faction has decided that since the Soviets
haven't the time or the money to catch up with techniques of radar
invisibility, it is necessary to snatch a nice fresh American
Stealth bomber, a task that is accomplished with depressing ease.
All it takes is a brokenhearted and honey-trapped Stealth
technician armed with a flare pistol and threatening speeches. The
batwinged bomber disappears from a military exercise in Canada-and
is not seen again until resourceful American agent, ex-Green Beret
officer Steve Wickham, finds the plane hidden under a Cuban
baseball field. The Soviet jetnappers have allied themselves with
the last true Communists on earth. Before you can say Cuba Si!
Yanqui No.!, the two nations are at war with each other. In the
height of the action, the Stealth sneaks out and heads for
Vladivostok. How do you find the durn thing when it's invisible?
The technothrills are unexceptional, but the trip to Cuba is fun.
(Kirkus Reviews)
An explosive thriller from the best-selling author of Defcon One.
As Congress debates the merits of the Stealth bomber, sinister
forces have their own goals in mind. During a training exercise, a
B-2 bomber disappears. When search efforts produce no evidence the
bomber crashed, the US Air Force has no choice but to acknowledge
that one of its most secret and high-tech aircraft has been
hijacked. Intelligence leads to what would first seem to be a very
unlikely suspect: Cuba. But could the tiny nation pull off a theft
of this magnitude? And what might its plans be for the highly
sought-after aircraft? Getting the answers to these questions
becomes the top-secret mission for CIA agent Steve Wickham. For
without those answers, only one solution will remain: invasion. And
if the US invades, World War III will certainly follow.
