HELL HATH NO FURY...

In the wake of the Vietnam debacle, when the mighty USA was humiliated by Soviet-backed Vietcong, the CIA plotted to drag the USSR into a ‘Russian Vietnam’ in Afghanistan. The plan was such a success it led ultimately to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now, forty years on, as Russia limps, scarred and crippled from the battlefields of Kherson, Donetsk and Kharkiv, Colonel Alexandrina Vitsin swears to drag the USA into an American Ukraine.

From her small dark office on Mokhovaya Street, in Moscow, she plots the unthinkable - war in western Europe. She will tear apart the European Union, inject Islam and Sharia law into that secular, democratic haven, and force the USA into an unwinnable conflict that will cripple NATO forever.

And in the process, she will exact her personal revenge on the man she has been hunting for over ten years, since he foiled her on Victoria Island, in the Bay of Bengal; a man who works in the shadows from an agency that does not exist. But now she has his scent, and she will hunt him down and she will kill him, the man called Nero.
