The Spoils of War: Find Out Who You Are
Autor Gordon Kenten Limba Engleză Paperback – iul 2007
In Tel Aviv, U.S. Navy Commander Alan Craik agrees to look into the death of a former Navy employee. What should have been a routine investigation quickly becomes something very ugly: nominal American allies in Israel withhold or alter information; colleagues at home initiate their own operation to satisfy the political needs of Washington; a wife betrays her husband; and soon deceit and distrust prove to be the only common denominator. When Mike Dukas—a dogged, cynical special agent of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service—joins the investigation, Craik is led to Jerry Piat, a renegade CIA officer. With agents of Mossad and the Palestinian Authority always close behind them, Craik demands the answers to some far-reaching questions. But what is the cost of telling the truth?

Recenzii
Kent knows his subject at first hand and the expertise shows on the page: high stakes, pounding tension and the best dogfights put on paper. A lot of thrillers these days, you come away feeling like you've been in a simulator. Gordon Kent straps you into the real thing. Enjoy the ride!' IAN RANKIN, on Night Trap 'Flying, spying and dying - Night Trap is the real straight Navy stuff. Better strap yourself to the chair. I loved it.' STEPHEN COONTS 'Tom Clancy used to have the high-tech military thriller stakes all to himself but now Gordon Kent has entered the field, and how. There's action on all fronts with Alan Craik at the heart of it, whether it's a carrier group in the Med confronting a rogue Russian sub commander, mounting a rescue mission for a captured CIA agent in Africa, or helping combat a high-level conspiracy in Washington. Non-stop ... a smoking gun of a story.' Northern Echo, on Peacemaker 'Told with all the authority of inside knowledge ... an absorbing tale of international skulduggery.' Irish News, on Peacemaker 'Consistently excellent ... loaded with gunfights, snappy dialogue and the aerial hijinks of supersonic jet fighters. The high testosterone doses satisfy, but best is the complex and clever web of motive Kent weaves for the mole.' Publishers Weekly, on Top Hook
