Peace Maker

Written with the authority that comes from personal experience, Gordon Kent's acclaimed debut, Night Trap, marked the launch of an astonishing new thriller talent. In this compelling new novel, hero Alan Craik is plunged into adventures on land, at sea and in the air in some of the world's most dangerous hotspots. When he learns that his best friend, a CIA agent, has been kidnapped in trouble-torn central Africa Alan flies out to join a Mediterranean-bound US fleet that has had to split in two to cover the growing African crisis. From there he embarks on an audacious but ill-fated rescue attempt that leaves him and his wounded friend stranded in the middle of the continent, facing a daunting escape cross-country as bloody war rages all around them. Meanwhile, with its flag aircraft carrier separated from its battlecruiser by a thousand miles, the overstretched US fleet is facing new dangers, as the test launch off the coast of Libya of Peacemaker, a top-secret weapon, comes under threat from an unexpected quarter.
