"Brad Thor - Harvath 03 - State of the Union" - читать интересную книгу автора (Thor Brad)

Synopsis:
On a cold January morning, the United States awakes to discover that an old enemy,
one long believed dead and buried, has crawled out of its grave to lay siege to the
worldтАЩs only superpower.
With the stunning discovery that enhanced Soviet-made suitcase nukes have been
secreted in AmericaтАЩs major cities, President Jack Rutledge gathers his National
Security Council to weigh the feasibility of a first strike against the Russian
Federation. ThereтАЩs only one problem. For over two decades, the Russians have
been funneling international aid money into a top secret air defense system, which
has just been brought on-line and which will render any conventional attack upon
their country utterly ineffective.
After exhausting all of his other options, and with Soviet sleeper agents preparing to
detonate their deadly payloads across the United States, the president turns to the
nationтАЩs final hope, ex-Navy SEAL and Secret Service Agent Scot Harvath.
Assigned to a covert section of the Department of Homeland Security and charged
with defending the nation against all foreign aggressors by any means necessary,
Harvath finds himself hand-picked by the president to unravel a brilliantly
orchestrated, fiendishly timed conspiracy that has already shattered the fragile peace
between the worldтАЩs nations and which, if successful, will leave the United States in
smoldering ruins.
With family friend and former Deputy FBI Director Gary Lawlor nowhere to be
found and suspected of betraying his country, Harvath embarks on an adventure that
will test the bonds of loyalty and reveal a nationтАЩs deepest secrets.
As high-voltage and timely as they come, State of the Union is a frighteningly real,
headline-ripping tale of espionage and intrigue that will keep readers guessing until
the last tantalizing piece of the puzzle locks into place.
