    About this ebook

    Dr. Joe Green, a software engineer, is leading a team developing a defense against cruise missile attacks. He is given unexpected assistance from a Russian physicist, who is falling for Joe. The Iranians have purchased an old Russian submarine, now retrofitted to fire cruise missiles - and they have developed a couple of nuclear bombs for the missiles. Can Joe get his blasters in place before the Iranians can reach America's shoreline, and attack? Will the blasters do the job, when if even a single missile gets through the new defense system it could mean a disaster for an American city? Can Joe and the CIA successfully get the Russian physicist and her family out of Russia? A must read terror plot directly out of today's headlines!
