Samenvatting

It's the Cold War. Commander Grant Stevens--intelligence officer and Navy SEAL--is assigned to the black ops division of the Naval Investigative Service. His present mission: Prevent the USS Bronson, the newest, most sophisticated destroyer in America's arsenal from being hijacked.Stevens and his friend, Senior Chief Joe Adler, will take on Russian commandos and an old KGB nemesis, while they hunt for and try to flush out a Russian mole, who could be buried deep in the heart of the U.S. Navy itself.EXCERPT:Grabbing the commando's Norinko 9mm with its silencer, he shoved the weapon to the side. In less than the blink of an eye, with all the strength he could muster, Grant plunged the eight-inch steel blade upward into the assailant's chest, cutting through the wetsuit, through the flesh, right below the sternum. In a true 'sentry silencing' technique, he ripped in side to side several times. The sheer force of the attack drove the commando backward, Grant pushing his own body against the intruder until both fell hard on the deck, groans coming from both men. For an instant, Grant felt as if he were going to pass out, the blackness closing in around him. But his own survival prevailed, and with renewed strength he jammed his knee into the commando's groin, his hand pinning the weapon against the deck, pressure on the knife never easing. Blood began gushing from the wound, slowly beginning to seep into the porous wetsuit. Grant held his position until the would-be assassin stopped struggling, the body twitching before going completely limp, a prolonged gurgling sound escaping from his throat, the final breath leaving his body. Yanking his knife from the chest, Grant pushed himself away, falling on his butt. With his chest heaving, he rested his head against his knees for a moment, squeezing his eyes shut. When he looked up, he was staring at the body of a stranger, a stranger who Grant assumed had more than likely come to eliminate him, someone who didn't have any intention of dying for his country.NOTE: Previously published as "THE SILENT OPTION"; no longer available for distribution.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
