Warhead Gambit: Book 4 - Angels Fall Series

Rate this book
A B-2 bomber carrying a missing nuclear warhead just crash-landed in the Nevada desert. The pilot has the disarm codes. The enemy wants both.

The stealth bomber went down hard during a classified nuclear transport mission. The aircraft is destroyed. The warhead is buried in the wreckage. And the only person who knows the weapon's disarm codes is trapped in the cockpit with a severed spinal cord and twelve hours to live.

For Daniel Mitchell's Angels Fall team, it's a nightmare recover a live nuclear weapon from a crash site, extract a dying pilot, and prevent foreign operatives from acquiring either. The warhead won't detonate on its own—but in the wrong hands, its plutonium core and detonation circuitry are worth billions on the black market.

Amy Brooks isn't interested in money. A former Russian GRU colonel turned arms dealer, she sees the crashed bomber as the opening move in a much larger game. Acquire the warhead, torture the pilot for access codes, and deliver functional nuclear capability to three foreign governments desperate to level the playing field against American military dominance.

The pilot is dying. The warhead is live. And the enemy is playing chess while Mitchell's fighting a war.

Brooks doesn't attack head-on—she maneuvers. Her operatives create diversions, set traps, and eliminate Mitchell's tactical options one by one. Every move Mitchell makes, she's anticipated. Every extraction route, she's blocked. Every minute wasted brings the pilot closer to death and the warhead closer to enemy hands.

In the brutal Nevada desert, where the sun kills as efficiently as bullets, Mitchell faces an opponent who's always three moves ahead. The pilot needs immediate medical evacuation. The warhead needs a specialized recovery team. Brooks needs both of them dead.

Save the pilot or secure the weapon. Mitchell can't sacrifice either. Brooks won't let him have both.

A deadly game of strategy and survival. When nuclear weapons become chess pieces, Angels play for keeps.

Warhead Gambit is Book 4 in the Angels Fall series—high-stakes military thrillers featuring elite rescue operations and weapons of mass destruction.
