The devil's alternative
(Book)

The Soviets are forced to pin their hopes for survival on the U.S. But as the KGB and the CIA watch in horror, the rescue of a Ukrainian freedom fighter from the Black Sea unleashes savagery that endangers peace--and plunges leaders from Washington to Moscow into a web of overwhelming intrigue, terror, and suspense.

In June 1982 an economic crisis in Russia--and a political struggle at the highest levels--force the Soviet leaders to consider an invasion of Western Europe. Only one man--Adam Munro, an agent for the British Intelligence Service--has the information needed to prevent World War III.

An appalling choice faces the President of the USA and other statesmen: whichever option they choose, men are going to die. But Adam Munro is unmoved. He knows that politicians have no objection to loss of life, so long as they are not seen publicly to have had anything to do with it.
