Description:

'Packed with more nerve-shattering tension than anything in print today . . . Gripping, audacious, brilliant storytelling at its very best' Washington Times

When three terrorists destroy the Soviet Union's largest petrochemical plant they think it is a striking blow for freedom. But, unknowingly, they have fired the first shots in World War III.

Desperately short of oil, the Kremlin hawks see only one way of solving their problem: seize supplies in the Persian Gulf. To do that, they must first neutralise NATO's forces and eliminate their response - and so they develop Red Storm, a dazzling master plan of diplomatic subterfuge and intense rearmament.

The battle lines are drawn and Armageddon beckons . . .
