About this listen

 When Ensign Deke Mallory is deployed to the Mediterranean at a crucial Cold War juncture, the fledgling Navy fighter pilot falls for a winsome Spanish girl - and under the spell of a rogue Navy Ace whose mutinous plan to flame their MiG tormentors violates the president's peace initiative.

But the real threat to peace is lurking off-stage, in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where a fanatical ex-Nazi SS unit has gone to ground with an insidious ruse guaranteed to trigger the superpowers' "mutually assured destruction". Rising CIA analyst Terry Truman must bet his career to confront the president based on hunches, but only Deke Mallory's mettle can prevent Armageddon - if he survives to launch the kind of legend he'll become.

"The Mallory Chronicles combine Tom Clancy's expertise at portraying military hardware with the accessability of a Danielle Steele romance!" ( Delmarva Quarterly)
