Red Wind

Commander T. C. Bogner #5

by R. Karl Largent

When a military jet went down off the California coast, killing the Secretary of the Air Force, it was a tragedy. When another jet crashed with the Undersecretary of State on board, it became cause for investigation. When a member of the State Department was found shot in the back of the head, his top-secret files missing, it became a national crisis.

National security was hanging by a thread—a thread about to be cut by a well-placed operative who leaked Washington's every move to the Chinese hard-liners behind the high-tech terror.

The frantic President turned to Commander T. C. Bogner, the only man he knew he could trust to uncover the mole and pull the country back from the brink before the delicate balance of power was blown away in a...Red Wind.

Reviews

[David · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book had a slow start, but eventually as the investigation picked up it got more interesting until the climactic finish. It is a definitely dated novel.

[Horace Clinard · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good, but not quite enough for 4 stars. However, I think I'd enjoy other books by this author. His style is good, and a different storyline might get a higher rating from me.
