From Publishers Weekly Sustaining interest from first page to last， this near-future techno-thriller--a PW hardcover bestseller for five weeks--has Afrikaner radicals staging a coup， reinvigorating apartheid and invading Namibia. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information， Inc. From Library Journal Set in today's South Africa， this broad， elaborate war thriller by the author of Red Phoenix (Warner， 1989) has Nazi-like ultraconservative Afrikaners taking over the Pretoria government， then invading bordering Namibia. A Communist counterforce led by Cubans is mounted， as internal revolt and harsh suppression breed domestic chaos. A Boer nuclear attack on the Cubans is answered with nerve gas; only heavy commitments of U.S. and British forces restore order after much battling and destruction. The love interest involves an American TV journalist and a free-spirited daughter of one of the Afrikaner leaders. In the wake of Desert Storm this knowledgeable evocation of the spectacle of modern weaponry and international conflict will reward new and old admirers of military action. A $150，000 advertising budget should ensure interest among those drawn to this genre. Previewed in Prepub Alert， LJ 2/1/91.- William A. Donovan， Chicago P.L.Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. See all Editorial Reviews
