Devil's Gambit Steve Abbott

NEST - Nuclear Emergency Search Team. Specialists activated in the event of a nuclear incident. Three nuclear warheads complete with their delivery systems have been stolen from a Russian missile base. It's up to Captain Gayle Ecevit USAF and her joint Russian team to find and secure the missing devices, with the help of two members of the SAS. All the signs point towards North Korea but to what end? Were they taken to be reverse engineered to bolster their struggling weapons program or are they to be used for a darker purpose, to start the Korean War all over again. The answers might lie with a recent North Korean Defector sitting in a CIA safe house but maybe he's a plant, put forward by North Korean Intelligence to muddy the waters. MI6 has it's eyes on a shadowy South African arms dealer who specializes in smuggling nuclear materials. Gayle and her team must sift through all the possibilities and come to the right answer. A new Korean War hangs in the balance.
