When a cabal of radical, hard-line Russian military officers refuse to end the Cold War and threaten to lauch a nuclear attack on the United States from a Bermuda airfield, it is up to Tombstone MacGruder and the Carrier Battle Group Fourteen to stop the attack and regain control of the airfield before any missiles can be launched.

#19 in the Carrier series. A fairly pedestrian entry as the series anout Carrier based air power winds down.
Carrier series - Though the Soviet Union has long been disbanded, a group of radical hard-line Russian military officers refuse to end the Cold War without one last blast. They've taken over an airfield in Bermuda - and are ready to launch a nuclear attack at the United States. The Russian government would like to handle the crisis on their own. But desperate situations call for desperate action. Tombstone MacGruder and the CVBG are called in to take the airfield out before the missiles are launched. If they don't nail the nukes in time, the U.S. may lose the Cold War after all
