Under Nuclear Attack

Author AJ Cushner introduces us to retired CIA Agent Josh Parker and draws us into the dark world of nuclear terrorism. "Under Nuclear Attack" takes us from the edge of a Russian nuclear storage facility to the rivers of Central America, into the heartland of the United States and finally into mid-town Manhattan. While America nervously guards against another terrorist attack, Washington learns that Russian General Viktor Valentyn has sold weapon-grade nukes to terrorists. Retired CIA Analyst, Josh Parker - the son of Russian Jews who was launched straight out of Boston Latin School to serve a controversial career at CIA - is snatched out of his comfortable teaching job at Boston University to stop the dirty bomb delivery boys. As the clock ticks down toward zero hour, Washington choreographs an international manhunt that pits the gray-haired Parker against one of the world's most depraved villains. Arriving in Nicaragua, Parker pulls the decaying body of his contact out of a river and escapes death only to face an unforgiving jungle. While Washington sends Matt Walker to find Parker, the beautiful wife of Parker's murdered contact finds Parker and rescues him. Parker and Matt Walker then face the terrorists on the back rivers of Central America, the Pan-American highway, Detroit, and finally in New York City - where a nuclear holocaust awaits.
