Blue Bears
For decades the heads of every Intelligence Bureau in the world have wrestled with the mystery of linear implosion nuclear weapons small enough to fit in a suitcase. Do they exist?
The backbone of the controversy is the now-defunct Soviet Union. Credible sources claim thousands of these weapons still exist in a Russia depository. They’re designated as the RA-115. The men who know the secrets of these weapons rule the darkest corners of the Russian intelligence networks. Among themselves they speak in whispers of the Blue Bears.
When a courier is caught transporting Blue Bears through the Republic of Georgia, the CIA is called in. The investigation uncovers a trail leading from a former KGB colonel to a Saudi billionaire, whose mad vision incorporates not only the nuclear destruction of Western world capitals, but the establishment of a terrorist caliphate.
Randy Sawyer, the resident CIA agent in Tbilisi, mounts a black operation using Georgian Special Forces. His orders are to recover the Blue Bears and eliminate both seller and buyer. In the depths of Siberia, Sawyer must face not only the Russians but betrayal from within. Alone, disavowed by the men they trusted to support them, Randy Sawyer and his team must complete their mission, or see a third world war explode if they fail.
