Produktbeschreibung
It is 2010 and North Korea is starving its people to pay for its newest high-tech weapons system. The rogue nation has invested all its resources into Peter Nampo, a talented scientist who is developing missile technology capable of eliminating its enemies' satellites in space and delivering a nuclear payload into the heart of the United States. Marine recon veteran and small-town prosecutor William Parker is recruited by a dark-ops taskforce run by the CIA and Pentagon. His mission? Infiltrate the Hermit Kingdom and find Nampo's top-secret location. As Parker trains for, then launches, his extraordinary operation, he knows his chances of survival are low. But he has no idea he's about to become part of a mission much more dangerous than the one he set out on. Praise for the Novels of Anderson Harp ""Tense and authentic - reading this book is like living a real-life mission.""--Lee Child on Retribution ""Want to see what the military's really like? Harp knows his stuff. Retribution proves that the scariest story is the true story. Here's the real intelligence operation."" --Brad Meltzer, bestselling author of The Fifth Assassin ""Andy Harp's Retribution is a stunner: a blow to the gut and shot of adrenaline. Here is a novel written with authentic authority and bears shocking relevance to the dangers of today. It reminds me of Tom Clancy at his finest. Put this novel on your must-read list--anything by Harp is now on mine."" --James Rollins, New York Times bestseller of Bloodline ""Retribution by Andy Harp is an outstanding thriller with vivid characters, breakneck pacing, and suspense enough for even the most demanding reader. On top of that, Harp writes with complete authenticity and a tremendous depth of military knowledge and expertise. A fantastic read-don't miss it!"" --Douglas Preston, #1 best-selling author of Impact ""I seldom come across a thriller as authentic and well-written as Retribution. Andy Harp brings his considerable military expertise to a global plot that's exciting, timely, and believable. His characters are exceptionally well-drawn and convincing. If you like Tom Clancy's work, you'll love Retribution. Andy Harp is very much his own man, however, and to say that I'm impressed is an understatement."" --David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of The Protector "Retribution by Andy Harp is a fast-paced, suspenseful thriller loaded with vivid characters and backed by a depth of military knowledge. Top gun!" --Kathy Reichs , #1 best-selling author of The Temperance Brennan and Tory Brennan series "The pace of this bold thriller is heart-pounding, indeed . . . Harp's own experience as both a Marine and a prosecutor lend the story utter believability . . . Northern Thunder certainly belongs in the hands of all military-thriller fans." -Booklist on Northern Thunder "In Harp's debut . . . protagonist Will Parker, a small-town Georgia lawyer and Desert Storm Marine vet recruited for a dangerous mission, has resilience, foresight, and fortitude to spare, and North Korea's repressive regime and rugged terrain make for deadly opponents." --Publishers Weekly on Northern Thunder "Wow! This is one terrific book action-packed first chapter to draw you in, a tempo that never lets up, very familiar terrain (four extra drill points for visiting so many training centers and fleet headquarters), and a story that's good to the very last twist! I strongly urge all Marines, ex-Marines, and especially Reservists to read it, because you no doubt will love Andy Harp's A Northern Thunder, a real fine page-turner you won't want to put down!"--Kevin Doyle, Past President, Marine Corps Reserve Officers Association on Northern Thunder
