Um þessa rafbók
In this pulse-pounding two-books-in-one thriller from New York Times bestselling author Stephen Coonts, Jake Grafton faces his greatest challenges yet in America and Liberty.
In America, NASA's SuperAegis satellite, the cornerstone of an international antimissile defense system, vanishes moments after dispatch. Rear Admiral Jake Grafton suspects sabotage, but the truth is far worse. The USS America, the world's most advanced nuclear submarine, is pirated by terrorists and disappears beneath the Atlantic, its Tomahawk warheads aimed at the United States. Grafton must overtake the stealth sub and destroy it before the unthinkable happens, but the enemy is more insidious than he ever imagined.
In Liberty, spymaster Jake Janos Illin reveals to Grafton that a rogue Russian general has sold four nuclear warheads to the radical Islamic terrorist group, the Sword of Islam. Their plan: detonate them in America, triggering an apocalyptic holy war between Western civilization and the Muslim world. Charged by the president to find the warheads, Grafton assembles a secret team to hunt the terrorists. With the survival of Western civilization at stake, he must navigate a treacherous world of power politics, techno-billionaires, traitors, and spies, as the clock ticks toward Armageddon.
Filled with rich, vivid characters and heart-stopping action, America/Liberty is a gripping military thriller that poses the unanswerable question: How far should civilization go to defend itself from its mortal enemies?
