From Publishers Weekly

This fireball of a military thriller will send those new to the author racing to get Rules of Engagement, the sleep-erasing debut novel by Kent (the pseudonym of a father/son writing team). Few authors integrate multiple plots with such dazzling 3-D realism and technical accuracy,; here, Kent pits the stalwart Rules heroes against viperous villains on three continents. Naval Lt. Alan Craik is resigned to sitting out a Washington office job while his wife, Lt. Comdr. Rose Craik, prepares to direct the shipboard launch of Peacemaker, a top-secret military satellite, in the Gulf of Sidra off Libya. Thrilled when a high-level shakeup lands him the post of information officer on the launch support flagship, Alan has barely established himself on board when a report comes in that his best friend, Harry O'Neill, a black rookie CIA agent, has been kidnapped by Hutu rebels backed by a sinister, hawk-nosed Serb terrorist known as Zulu. Setting out with a tough navy SEAL, Alan rescues the gruesomely injured O'Neill, and the three men attempt a near-impossible escape across Africa, pursued by cold-blooded mercenaries. Meanwhile, Rose learns that her duplicitous American superiors are concealing crucial Peacemaker information, and faces down not only a Russian nuclear submarine but also an attack by the Libyan government and the French right-winger Lascelles, Zulu's main backer. Harrowing shipboard battles, nail-biting emergency plane flights and riveting action in Sarajevo, central Africa, Washington and France drive this turbocharged thriller. A tour de force with near hypnotic pull, Kent's second outing scores a bulls-eye and saves rocket fuel for a sequel.

From

Gordon Kent is the pseudonym of a father-son writing team. Both authors are former intelligence officers and pilots in the U.S. Navy. The book's protagonist, one Alan Craik, is the navy pilot and intelligence officer who was the hero of Kent's first novel, Rules of Engagement (1999). In this new novel, Craik sets out to rescue a colleague, a CIA agent, who has been kidnapped in Uganda. Kent then moves the setting from Washington to the deck of an aircraft carrier, from a submarine base in Russia to Sarajevo, from Zaire to Naples. And even Beijing, Cannes, and Belgrade are included as locales. There is lots of flying--helicopters, a single-engine plane, and a navy jet--and enough military jargon to fill a trilogy. The action is nonstop and the violence gets pretty gruesome, but Peacemaker is a rousing sequel to Rules of Engagement. George Cohen
