Thorn (Red Sword)

By the end of 1986, Red Sword—the KGB and military officers planning the assassination of Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev—had made significant progress. To finance their plot with the needed one hundred million dollars, they would smuggle one hundred tons of Afghan hashish into San Francisco, using a former dirty CIA agent and an ex-con tugboat captain who was the friend of a convicted Russian spy. Their foolproof plan had everything covered—smooth and experienced operators, ingenious vessel designs to hide the hashish, and well-hidden base in the tangled waterways. Alerted by a Russian officer, the CIA—with President Ronald Reagan’s blessing—would do everything in its power to protect Gorbachev in his march towards democracy and the end to the Cold War. Its counterattack was Thorn. Yet the CIA’s choice of rookie undercover Special Agent Tony Davis for the most significant operation in its Clandestine Service history involved a huge risk. Based on actual events, this sequel to Red Sword runs non-stop, no-holds-barred action to a double-punch ending.
