About this item
In Rick Campbell's newest thriller, a military coup in Russia leads to a swift invasion of former Soviet territories -- while the U.S. has been rendered powerless to respond. In Russia, the military is anxious to assert its military strength and regain its role as a superpower. The Russian President refuses to greenlight a bold plan to disable American strategic nuclear capability and retake Ukraine and the Baltic States, fearing the potential consequences of involving nuclear weapons. But the generals won't have it and at the first opportunity, they overthrow the president in a military coup. Then they use a narrow window to initiate their bold plan -- the Zolotov option -- which will render all of America's B2 bombers and ballistic missiles useless.
