The Four Apostles

About the Book

In the last half of the twentieth century, Russia and the United States were involved in what was classified as the Cold War. Both countries had large arsenals of nuclear warheads and large land and sea armed forces. Sometimes, both sides utilized extraordinary tactics to achieve the balance of power. This story, although fictitious, demonstrates how certain factions try to take an upper hand by the kidnapping of a physicist and a rescue mission across deserts in the Middle East, which almost brings the world to a thermonuclear war.
