Omschrijving

How many men from W.A.R. does it take to stop 2000 raging desert warriors, fifty top of the line Soviet tanks, and untold numbers of drug-crazed assassini? Six, plus one beautiful, plucky young British woman determined to rescue a kidnapped brother. Peter Carthage battles an outlaw army and a man with more than human powers in this thriller by two time Edgar Award nominee Michael Kurland that accurately foresaw the future. Thirty years later the plot of this novel would be reflected in all-too-real headlines. A small, oil-rich Arab nation is about to be invaded by a superior enemy force led by unstoppable tanks. While in the shadows a fanatic religious leader waits like a spider with his own army of suicide killers. The U.S. can not intervene. So, it's up to debonair agent Peter Carthage and the men from W.A.R. (Weapons Analysis and Research, Inc.), a company with an ultra-scientific approach to warfare - if they feel the cause is just. Fans of Jason Bourne, James Bond, I Spy, and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. will love Edgar Award-Finalist Peter Carthage, the Man from W.A.R. "Carthage wears suits for meetings with clients and fatigues for work in the field. Whether it is a briefcase or an automatic in his hand, he is able to handle the job." -Spy Guys and Gals. Michael Kurland has been nominated for the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Award and the American Book Award. He has edited three themed anthologies of Sherlock Holmes short stories, and has written a series of novels about the exploits of Holmes' archnemesis, Professor James Morarity. His knowledge of military tactics and spy lore is authentic. Kurland served in the U. S. military during the 1960s, working for one of its intelligence branches.
