With occasional references to "the Kursk incident" and to Vladimir Putin's unpopularity with the Russian people, and with a plot centered around the antics of an ultra-nationalist Russian general, Dead Hand positions itself as an up-to-the-minute thriller with significant political resonance—and even throws in a natural disaster for good measure. Ever wary of being caught off-guard by a nuclear strike, Russia has carefully cultivated a retaliatory system capable of launching its own missiles: mordantly dubbed Dead Hand, the system will activate without a central command. When an asteroid hits Siberia with enough force to trigger the system, Moscow finds itself faced with both unspeakable environmental chaos and General Likatchev's bid to subvert the disaster to his own anti-Western purposes.

Politics makes strange bedfellows, and Russia must ask the U.S., NATO, and the French Foreign Legion (to name but a few of the players) to invade its own borders and destroy the missiles before Likatchev can get to them. Confronted by mass destruction and a Russian squadron led by one of the general's former protégés, the motley group of Western soldiers races against the clock toward the bevy of silos—but at what cost?

Harold Coyle is anything but subtle: his characters can't cross a room without the author pausing to reflect on the glory of the soldier's calling. His pedantic asides often bring the plot to a screeching halt, and he has an unfortunate tendency to present his characters in the manner of an announcer at a beauty pageant: heavy on the platitudes and light on meaningful revelation. That said, Coyle has built up a loyal following, and these readers will no doubt be pleased with the obvious au courant sincerity of his latest offering. —Kelly Flynn

Courage is often enough to drive a soldier forward, to make him climb out of his foxhole and face enemy fire. But it takes something else, something more than courage to keep going when every instinct and every shred of reason tells him to stop. The men of Recon Team Kilo, a Special Forces unit operating deep in hostile territory, are overwhelmed by indigenous forces, stripped of their leadership, and hopelessly separated. Isolated from their brethren, each man is thrown back on his own strength and instinct to survive. Will they stay faithful to their code of conduct and their country-even in the face of brutal imprisonment and an uncertain future? Courage is not a factor for Lieutenant Colonel Harry Shaddock, the commander of the unit selected to execute the rescue. But in order to accomplish the mission and save the imprisoned soldiers he will have to make some very hard decisions-decisions that will risk the lives of the men under his command, men who would follow him anywhere. Meanwhile, the families of the hostages must endure a trial no less daunting. They must stand by and watch their loved ones executed one by one, by a ruthless foe thousands of miles away. In a contest that demands more than anyone had imagined, victory will require everyone to draw upon something within, something more than courage
