The Red Dove - E-book - ePub

The battle to control the world will soon be won - but not on earth. As the Soviet space-shuttle Dove orbits 150 miles above the earth on its maiden flight, Warsaw Pact troops crash into Poland. The seventy-two-year-old President of America wants to be re-elected. For that he needs to win the first stage of the war in space - and decides to capture the Soviet space shuttle. But as the President plans his coup, a nuclear-armed shuttle speeds towards target America - and only defection in space can stop it. 'Writing as crisp as the Moscow winter .
