Fiction. Thriller. HTML:

As the USSR collapses, thousands of nuclear warheads may end up in the wrong hands in this thriller from the New York Timesâ??bestselling author of The Art of War.

Jake Grafton has been promoted to deputy director of a new US intelligence agencyâ??and the stakes of his commission are higher than ever before. With the Soviet Union on the brink of dissolution, a vast nuclear arsenal is suddenly ripe for the taking by mercenaries, rogue nations, and insane Russian nationalists. Grafton must stop them, and he may have to do it aloneâ??because not everyone supposedly on his side wants him to succeed.
From the "masterful storyteller" whose blockbuster tales of international suspense include Flight of the Intruder and Liars & Thieves, The Red Horseman is a startling vision of the apocalyptic danger that emerged at the end of the Cold War, a threat that still exists wherever weapons of mass destruction remain poorly secured.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Stephen Coonts, including rare photos from the author's personal collection.

Pure fiction.

When this was written Coonts probably meant is a plausible political and military thriller, but with the benefit of hindsight it is very much a work of fiction. One thing that makes the Grafton books easy to read is that even the dilemmas are very black and white. The bad guys of the time are bad guys and not much else. When something is derelict, there is no beautiful flower to protect.

I gave this 3 stars and though I would like to give less, I cannot deny that it made for a smooth, enjoyable read, despite all the flaws. It worked as a distraction from real life and with everything so obviously being fiction (almost like science fiction), there was no worries triggered about the actual world we live in. ( )

This book finally got interesting after I struggled through the first half. Maybe I'm just not that into politics and all the things involved but this book was really a hard book to get into. The flight scene was the best action in the entire book. Otherwise, pretty dull stuff. I am so glad he explained things through Jake's wife at the end or I would have missed the significance of what happened at the end. Not a very impressive book in my opinion. ( )

Jake and Toad save the world, again. This time in Russia during the 90s with a nuclear meltdown, a dog fight between an attack airplane and a fighter, killings in the streets and a pesky reporter. Action galore. Where's my next Coonts book? ( )

Like Tom Clancy without the restraint. Also, if you're writing fiction, maybe having two of your three main characters named "Jack" and "Jake" is a bit confusing. ( )

Admiral Jake Grafton gets involved in a plot to destabilize Russia and to steal nuclear weapons. Sad am Husain is buying nuclear missiles from some old Russian politicians. The people destroy a nuclear power plant and cause the worst radiation leak ever. ( )
