Military Fiction
UltimatumSaddam Hussein is on the move again, but this time he is armed with nuclear-tipped missiles. Purchased from a former Soviet republic, hidden beneath the Iraqi sands, Saddam's new atomic arsenal points toward Tel Aviv and Tehran. To say nothing of the additional warheads he is smuggling into New York City and Washington, D.C. The tension is pushed to the boiling point when Saddam's guns begin shooting down American planes in the Middle East. Aimed at provoking the second Gulf War, he leaves President Clinton no choice but to respond. For Navy Lieutenant Kevin "Crackers" Dalton, the conflict has become personal. Shot down over Iraq while trying to avenge the death of his commander at the hands of an Iraqi ace, he finds himself coupled with Khalela, a beautiful and mysterious Mossad agent, and the band of Kurdish rebels she leads. Together they will face death as they try to uncover Saddam's hidden nuclear facility before the United States finds itself facing a deadly Ultimatum.
Retribution
In R. J. Pineiro's much-anticipated sequel to Ultimatum, Dalton, a hero as great as Stephen Coonts' Jake Grafton or Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, now works for the CIA. As Saddam prepares to strike at the heart of the United States, Dalton finds himself facing the ultimate horror: nuclear weapons on American soil. Acquired from the Russian Mafia through an infamous international arms dealer, three warheads of mass destruction are smuggled into the United States. They are Saddam's revenge for his defeats at the hands of America. Reunited with the beautiful Mossad agent Khalela, Dalton must untangle a web of conspiracy that leads from Jersey City mosques to the backwoods of Virginia, from Atlantic City casinos to the bayous of Louisiana. Only he and Khalela can prevent the weapons from reaching their separate targets: New York City, Washington, D.C., and the President's birthplace, a small town called Hope.
