Final Rain by Jerry Ahern
IF CIVILIZATION WERE DESTROYED TODAY-WOULD JOHN THOMAS ROURKE BE ABLE TO SURVIVE.? John Thomas Rourke's remarkable survival skills enabled him to emerge unscathed from the nuclear devastation of W.W. I. But terrifying new storm clouds loom over the eastern horizon-as the ex-CIA Covert Operations Officer and weapons expert takes command of his battered nation's broadening air and land war against the brutal Soviet foe. Russian troops, utilizing a blood-curdling new Particle Beam technology, have launched a furious assault on the Eden Project. Joining forces with his international allies-including the army of the underwater citadel Mid-Wake-Rourke races to the defense of the beleaguered settlement. The entire world is dividing to do battle a fourth time. But this time the Earth's atmospheric envelope is so fragile that a single nuclear bomb blast will assure the total annihilation of mankind. And unless John Thomas Rourke can stem the raging Communist death-tide before the ultimate button is pushed, no power on the planet will be able to forestall humanity's extinction-not even. THE SURVIVALIST.
Fanatics have the key to the ultimate Japanese attack. A Chicago cop is all that stands in their way... MULVANEY IS AFTER SOME PAYBACK, AND HE NEVER FORGETS A FACE... A priceless state-of-the-art computer chip lost in a South Carolina storm... A hunt for a terrorist in Brazil... A deep sea expedition off the coast of Japan. What they have in common is an international network of high-tech, high-stakes revolutionaries looking for the right moment, and the right weapon, to overturn the crucial balance of power in the Far East-and destabilize the entire world. Now their moment has come... Chicago cop and ex-Green Beret Ed Mulvaney is in over his head-and liking every minute of it. He witnessed the cold-blooded killing of an innocent woman, and now he's after the mercenary who did it. But every step takes Mulvaney deeper into a deadly maze of treachery and deception, a puzzle that reaches back to the final days of World War II and a catastrophic secret hidden beneath the sea...
