Summary
Ambitious, married naval lieutenant-commanders Alan Craik and Rose Siciliano find their lives turned upside down when they are implicated in the hunt for a traitor code-named 'Top Hook,' an unknown enemy who has been supplying secrets to the Chinese, and their only hope is to uncover the traitor before their careers are destroyed and the U.S. and China drift into war. Reprint.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: The Alan Craik novels have earned GORDON KENT electrifying praise for their breakneck pace and raw emotion, as well as for some of the most remarkable heroes--and villains--in fiction today. Now U.S. Navy Officer Craik is back in action, all because one man, fueled by anger, ambition, and pain, has ignited an explosive chain of events that threatens not only two good careers, but world peace itself....
TOP HOOK
Itâs springtime in Newport and Alan Craik and his wife, Rose Siciliano, are on top of the world. Sheâs headed for astronaut training; heâs going into an espionage school. Parents, pilots, lovers, and loyal navy officers through and through, the husband-and-wife team are eager to take the next step. Then it all comes crashing down.
In a Virginia suburb of D.C., a senior CIA man has committed a series of clandestine acts that have led him into the most dangerous place he has ever been. Now George Shreedâs dark secret is in danger--and a woman is demanding a million dollars in exchange for her silence. Shreedâs next desperate move is to find someone to take the blame for the information he himself leaked. The fall guy will be a woman: Rose Siciliano.
Suddenly, an investigation targets Rose, and, by association, her husband, Alan. And as a circle of treachery tightens around them, events race out of anyoneâs control. In command of an airborne unit on the USS Thomas Jefferson in Trieste, Alan is contacted by the same woman who is blackmailing Shreed. Soon he is being pulled into a vortex of spies and counterspies while a series of stunning escalations take his high-tech airborne attachment--and the world--to the brink of war.
In the most dangerous region on earth, Alan Craik is crashing through forbidden airspace to find a spy, code-named âTop Hook,â whose act of betrayal is more complex--and chilling--than anyone can guess.
From the deafening roar of jet fighters launching off an aircraft carrier to nerve-shattering clandestine meetings in Turkey, North Africa, and Pakistan, Top Hook is a relentless turbocharged ride--and the best work yet from the most original writer in military adventure today.
From the Hardcover edition.
