Plot Summary of Blood Covenant
"In the late seventies, KGB Chairman and someday-General Party Secretary Andropov commissions the creation of suitcase-size nuclear weapons. The Soviet Empire crumbles, the Cold War ends, and the weapons are forgotten until today.

A Hezbollah terrorist cell decides to make New York's Fourth of July celebration a bit brighter than usual. The threat catapults Special Forces Major Jim Harper and spymaster Louis Edwards into a desperate race against time to prevent the unthinkable from happening..."

Douglas De Bono, Resident Scholar
