Book excerpt: When Jeff Hollis, top Pentagon security officer, receives a memorandum pertaining to a highly secret project named Peregrine, it is the beginning of a sixteen-day nightmare. Even as he manages to uncover that the purpose of Peregrine is to neutralize US ICBMs, Hollis finds himself branded a spy and subject of a national manhunt by the FBI. Fighting for his life against unknown assassins, he matches wits with a Soviet mole intent on the destruction of the US. As the fate of the US hangs in the balance, Hollis succeeds in destroying Peregrine, but not before a Soviet missile is launched—target Washington. In a gripping thriller as real as the headlines, Dowdle weaves an intense drama of international intrigue, sabotage, and desperation. Set in the early years of the Reagan Presidency when events such as the shootdown of KAL 007 and the deployment of the Pershing II’s to Europe seemed to signal a world spiraling out of control, Dowdle invites the reader to contemplate the unthinkable. . . and to ponder just how close we actually came to experiencing it.
