Publisher's Synopsis
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republic lives no more. Silent are her generals who would have led her in war. Unfired are her weapons of mass destruction; still are her ICBM's that threatened the world; abandoned are her silos housing rocket-propelled missiles with atomic warheads. Unmanned, overgrown and virtually unguarded are her missile sites that housed her brilliant scientists and engineers who stood ready to launch unimaginable devastation at a moment's notice. However, the weapons were not destroyed; they only awaited the command. The weapons were surplus and no longer needed. A situation ideal for Osama bin Laden and his rabid al Qaeda followers. The terrorists have long sought atomic weapons, and now the opportunity has arisen. All that it will take is money, a willing and knowledgeable Russian nuclear engineer, and money. And the fanatical al Qaeda have all three. 'When al Qaeda Launched the Nuke' is a first-class action adventure thriller that is filled with twists and turns as everything is not quite as it seems, and that includes bin Laden. Based on true events, the tale follows a plot within a plot within a plot and astounds the reader with its totally unsuspected conclusion.
