โฆ Synopsis
The battle to control the world will soon be won โ but not on earth. As the Soviet space-shuttle Dove orbits 150 miles above the earth on its maiden flight, Warsaw Pact troops crash into Poland. The seventy-two-year-old President of America wants to be re-elected. For that he needs to win the first stage of the war in space โ and decides to capture the Soviet space shuttle. But as the President plans his coup, a nuclear-armed shuttle speeds towards target America โ and only defection in space can stop it. 'Writing as crisp as the Moscow winter ... the Soviet setting is magically evocative' New York Times 'Lambert, author of many intelligent political thrillers, has another in this fastpaced, complex, and timely novel. Highly recommended' Library Journal 'A most satisfying thriller with a highly dramatic finish' Publishers Weekly
