Publisher's summary

**NEW RELEASE**
It's now 2019, midway through the phony war between Russia’s first invasion of Ukraine and its attempt to absorb it entirely. Notre Dame Cathedral has just burned, leaving all Paris on edge and in mourning. With the blessing of the Kremlin, a former KGB agent with deep government connections plans to take advantage of the uncertainty and use a king’s ransom in old Nazi gold bullion for a private war to extend Russia's influence westward from Ukraine to the very border of Germany, a conquest that would definitely lead to a major European war. The threat of World War III is very real.

Eddie Grant has been through one war, when he was an American Special Forces commander during Operation Desert Storm, and knows what damage a new one would do. He decides to risk everything in an effort to foil the Russian scheme.

He and his friends manage to locate the gold, but the Russian oligarch snatches it from under their noses, leaving them only one choice—they will follow his heavily laden tugboat across the Mediterranean on a decrepit World War II freighter, a Victory Ship. A running gunfight at sea solves the gold problem once and for all, or at least that's what Eddie hopes. The body count is too high for failure to be an option.
