Tibetan Cross E-BOOK

A terrifying international manhunt and stunning love story that begins in the spring of 1973, when an American climber in the Himalayas stumbles on a shipment of backpack nuclear weapons headed into Tibet for use against China. Pursued by spy agencies and other killers across Asia, North Africa, Europe and the United States, he is captured then rescued by a beautiful young woman with whom he forms a deadly liaison. They escape, are captured and escape again, death always at their heels.

Not only a terrifying portrayal of a relentless manhunt, Tibetan Cross is also a deep inquiry into politics and covert action, the nature of fear, and the painful process of love. 

Acclaimed by critics as an "existentialist thriller", and for its penetrating portraits of the individual versus society, the depths of love, and the roots of war, Tibetan Cross is an international best-seller that "grips the reader from the very first chapter until the climactic ending" (UPI).

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

"A deft thriller that will reinforce your worst about the CIA and the Bomb." (Publishers Weekly)

"A thriller that everyone should go out and buy right away. The writing is wonderful throughout, and Bond never loses the reader's attention. This is less a thriller, at times, than essay, with Bond working that fatalistic margin where life and death are one and the existential reality leaves one caring only to survive." − Sunday Oregonian

"A tautly written study of one man's descent into living hell... Strong and forceful, its sharply written prose, combined with a straightforward plot, builds a mood of near claustrophobic intensity." − Spokane Chronicle
