Alfred Coppel's The Dragon is a political-action thriller set in the Cold War, when a clique of top Soviet military leaders conspire against their ailing premier and plan a preemptive strike against Red China timed to coincide with a visit to Moscow by the President of the US. Lasers, nukes, rogue IRA provo assassins, and more all figure into the action, as does one of my favorite characters, grizzled Red Army veteran Marshal Pavel Lyudin. By the author of both Thirty-Four East and The Burning Mountain. -- GAK @ HH
