Publisher Description

The United States and Russia have joined forces to form the International Peecekeeping Force, a body created by the Athens Peace Conference in the wake of nuclear war in the Middle East. Assigned control of every nation's orbiting nuclear hardware, the IPF's job is to prevent any military action across national borders, anywhere in the world. Period. The IPF is capable of dealing with the normal run of chicanery. But when super-terrorist Jamal Shamar makes off with the world's last half-dozen nuclear warheads, a new force is needed: Mercenaries, An elite clandestine force available to anyone, anywhere, as long as the cause is world peace.

"This is a good read keeping in mind that it was written before the fall of the Soviet Union. The events just prior to the conclsion were surprising in that I really didn't see it coming."

    " Good, classic sci-fi. One thing I like about the good science fiction: it points to a 'possible' future, unrealistic but not unattainable. This book was like that. Kind of makes me wish we had a worldwide peace keeping agency today... "
