  After the collapse of their economy, fanatic Japanese nationalists take matters into their own hands and, with the approval of the Prime Minister, launch an attack on Russia. Bound by secret protocol to come to Russia's aid in the event of war, the US government sends Air Force Colonel Bob Cassidy and a squadron of F-22s to thwart the Japanese in the skies over Siberia. The operation brings Cassidy one on one with Captain Jiro Kimura, flying Japan's most secret weapon. Japan's goal is world domination, the price a third world war. All that stands between Kimura and the completion of his mission is Cassidy, a man he once counted his best friend.

  A state of the art techno thriller by an author who ranks alongside Clancy and Dale Brown as a master of the genre. Russia is in chaos, it's economy in ruins. Rich oil deposits in Siberia seem to be the prize available to the most daring predator. When a right wing Japanese Government mounts an invasion, the USA comes to Russia's defence. Air Force Colonel Bob Cassidy finds himself leading a squadron of F22 fighters to opose the Japanese attackers, led by his old Air Force Academy friend Jiro Kimure. Meanwhile, Russian naval captain Pavel Saratov pilots his antiquated submarine into hostile waters on a highly dangerous mission. Whether aboard a Russian submarine or in a state of the art fighter cockpit, Coonts brings his story vividly to life, evoking all the exhaustion, fear and courage of his characters as they struggle desperately to avert a nuclear catastrophe. Filled with up to the minute authentic military detail, FORTUNES OF WAR is A RED STORM RISING for the 1990's.
