Imminent Threat: A Jonathan Preston Novel
World War II has finally ended, but not for Jonathan Preston--the US Army's most successful covert operative--a new mission is just beginning. The US Navy and Preston and his team of intelligence agents race against time to stop two rogue Japanese submarines from attacking the east coast of the US with biological weapons capable of inflicting unimaginable casualties. While the US Navy frantically attempts to find and destroy the submarines, Jonathan Preston and his team of counterintelligence agents rush to track down Japanese agents positioned to take possession of the biological agent when the subs arrive off the US east coast. Preston's WWII nemesis, Japanese intelligence agent Asami Nakada, however, has other plans as she evades US operatives and moves to attack Washington DC, and Philadelphia from the land, while the sub's bombers attack New York City.

Steve Doherty’s Imminent Threat is an exciting military thriller, with action and technology reminiscent of Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler. It is the fourth Jonathan Preston novel in the series, which follows the exploits of a US intelligence team during and after World War II.
As the war ends, Jonathan Preston and his team of intelligence operatives learn of a rogue submarine mission launched by Japan right before the nation surrendered. Two advanced submarines are crossing the ocean to launch biological warfare on the United States, potentially killing millions after the war is already over. Preston and his team of professionals must use all their skills and call in many favors to try and stop the devastation, but will they be in time?
I was impressed with the existing World War II technology the author built upon to make this story. The two rogue submarines on the mission are explained in detail and are certainly believable. The author also does an excellent job of explaining the intelligence and counterintelligence networks necessary to make this story work. The result is an entertaining spy/military adventure that fans of the genre will enjoy.
Fans of techno-thrillers, spy novels, and World War II should find this enjoyable.
