Madrinega, Ccntral America, 1983: Amid a raging guerilla insurgency intent on toppling the regime of repressive dictator Eduardo Vilar, Leighton, an American agent, goes undercover as a freelance journalist to infiltrate the guerilla movement and learn the location of four cruise missiles they seized in a recent raid on a military base. Arrested and tortured by the Secret Police for his reporting on the government’s prosecution of the war, he is released only to be given an ultimatum: Leave the country or be “disappeared.” The guerillas intervene, spiriting him away to their jungle base where he meets Zorrita, their attractive, charismatic leader.

But his loyalties are soon divided as their relationship unexpectedly deepens, triggering angst among the guerillas and increasing demands from Leighton’s superiors. Initially intent on merely using one another, they must navigate a growing bond even as Zorrita plans how best to use the missiles to remove Vilar, and Leighton plots to have an American Special Forces team seize them by force. Duty and desire clash as the dedicated revolutionary and the calculating spy race headlong toward an inevitable, deadly collision.

Book Description
Madrinega, Central America, 1983: In this thriller of intrigue and guerilla warfare, Leighton, an American agent, poses as a left-wing journalist to infiltrate a guerilla movement fighting to topple Madrinega’s repressive dictator Eduardo Vilar at the height of America’s war against the Sandinistas in neighboring Nicaragua. His mission: Locate and recover four cruise missiles seized by the guerillas in a bloody attack on a military base. Leighton is nearly killed while pursuing a story about the brutal government bombing of a village with no known ties to the guerillas. Antagonizing Vilar’s regime with his news stories, he is soon arrested and tortured by the Secret Police, then released only to be given an ultimatum: Leave the country or be “disappeared.” Zorrita, the guerillas’ charismatic leader, employs psychological warfare by launching the first missile and destroying Vilar’s prize possession without loss of life. When Vilar retaliates with reprisal killings which trigger an uprising, further undermining his position, Washington increases the pressure on Leighton to find the remaining missiles as Zorrita arranges to spirit him away from the clutches of the Secret Police to a remote jungle camp. Sensing he is a friendly journalist able to sway American public opinion, she sets out to educate and seduce him into advocating for the guerillas’ cause, as he contrives to build her trust and learn the missiles’ location. But Leighton’s loyalties are quickly divided as their relationship unexpectedly deepens; Zorrita’s intellect, her force of will and sense of history, as well as her sexual allure, present Leighton with a formidable adversary...and ultimately a choice.

Book Description
Military and security expert Daniel Wasserbly introduces the elite unit tasked with protecting the nation from long-range weapons of mass destruction. Comprised of just three hundred soldiers, the United States Army’s 100th Missile Defense Brigade and 49th Missile Defense Battalion utilize sophisticated and cutting-edge technology to monitor the skies and seas surrounding the country and shield three hundred million Americans against any potential nuclear threat. Named for the number of Spartan warriors who defended Greece at the Battle of Thermopylae, these vigilant individuals endure rigorous, always-evolving regimens to maintain peak efficiency in the event of an actual nuclear strike. Assigned to extraordinary locations at Fort Greely, Alaska and Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, the 300 are responsible for the highest levels of homeland security. They not only maintain a never-ending watch via radar and sensor arrays, but receive continuous training in operating advanced interceptors designed to home in on and destroy in-flight ballistic missiles. It’s a complex—and occasionally unreliable—defense system that scientists and engineers are always improving and upgrading. With unprecedented access to the highly classified strategic nerve centers of U.S. Northern Command in Cheyenne Mountain, years of research, and dozens of exclusive interviews with normally inaccessible missile crews, Wasserbly reveals the incredible true story behind the 300’s essential defense operations.

Book Description
From the Back Cover: In US Guided Missiles renowned aviation historian Bill Yenne has produced, for the first time, a comprehensive guide to the widely varied United States guided missile systems that have been designated with the "M" prefix. Beginning with the 1950s MGM-1 Matador-a jet-propelled cruise missile inspired by Germany's wartime V-1 "Flying Bomb" -and the MGM-5 Corporal, evolved from the German V2 ballistic missile, US Guided Missiles charts the evolution of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) such as the Atlas, Titan, Minuteman and Peacekeeper. The Atlas and Titan later became famous as the basis for the launch vehicles that carried the first American astronauts into space. Meanwhile the Rim-2 and MIM-3 Nike Ajax had their roots in anti-aircraft missiles of World War II. Having begun with the earliest Cold War guided missiles, this book progresses through Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBMs) such as the UGM-73 Poseidon and UGM-96 Trident, to the later cruise missiles such as the BGM-109 Tomahawk. The roster of systems includes the hugely successful air-to-air 'Sidewinder', as well as little-known and obscure missiles, and modern systems in use today including the AIM-120 AMRAAM and RIM-162 Standard Missiles. From the earliest post-war rockets, through the Cold War to modern weapons, US Guided Missiles shows how guided missile systems have changed the face of warfare, illustrated throughout with rare and previously unseen images, and with extensive appendices, this book is an essential reference for any aviation, aerospace or military historian and enthusiast.
