Book description
An exhilarating tale of modern espionage and adventure featuring US
Navy intelligence officer Alan Craik.
During a fleet exercise in India, Alan Craik faces a minefield of
explosive events that threaten to tear the country and a US battlegroup
apart. A military base is attacked by 'fringe elements'; an Indian
submarine mutinies and then shoots down a US Navy aircraft and a group
of Indian scientists are killed when they are attacked with Sarin gas.
Craik, ignoring the conventional wisdom that the incidents are
unrelated, believes that a fanatical group have control of certain
elements of both the Indian government and its armed forces.
Then the rebels seize part of India's nuclear arsenal. Suddenly, a U.
S. carrier battle group joins Pakistan, China, and Saudi Arabia on the
target list.
The world is faced with the spectacle of a nuclear-capable nation in
the hands of a self-destructive religious cult, and it's up to Craik and
a team of specialists to re-capture the nukes and prevent massive devastation.
But with time running out and the cult leader still at large, are they
already too late? Praise for 'Night Trap'
'A lot of thrillers these days, you come away feeling like you've been
in a simulator. Gordon Kent straps you into the real thing. Enjoy the ride!'
Ian Rankin
'“Night Trap” is the real straight Navy stuff. Better strap yourself to
the chair. I loved it.'
Stephen Coonts
Praise for 'Peacemaker'
Told with all the authority of inside knowledge…an absorbing tale of
international skulduggery.'
Irish News, on Peacemaker
Praise for 'Top Hook'
'Consistently excellent…loaded with gunfights, snappy dialogue and the
aerial hijinks of supersonic jet fighters. The high testosterone doses
satisfy, but best is the complex and clever web of motive Kent weaves
for the mole.'
