Vortex

Set in South Africa of the early 1990s, this military thriller has fascist ultraconservative Afrikaners staging a coup and taking over the Pretoria government. The new government then re-institutes apartheid and invades bordering Namibia. A Communist counterforce led by the Cubans is mounted, as internal revolt and harsh suppression breed domestic chaos. A Boer nuclear attack on the Cubans is answered by nerve gas from the Cubans. A daring raid by US Rangers destroys the Afrikaner weapons before they can be used again, while U.S. and British ground forces restore order after much fighting and destruction.<br /><br /><br />“The techno-thriller has a new ace, and his name is Larry Bond.”<br /> – Tom Clancy, Author of “Clear and Present Danger”<br /><br />“Military adventure on grand scale … and intricate and compelling thriller that is pure Bond in great form.
