The Ninth Martini, By Craig L. Andrews, Well Reviewed on Amazon

July 18, 2013 - PRLog -- The Ninth Martini, is a Clancy-type thriller whose main character would be a welcome asset to our current troubled world. He detests bureaucrats, lying politicians, and losing. He's a God, duty, honor, country type of guy.

When hard-nosed Navy intelligence officer and former SEAL, Zack Hawkshaw, reluctantly agrees to use skills from an extinct CIA program for a mission, he has no idea he’ll be plunged into a race to save the world.  Zack agrees to one more field assignment and goes head-to-head with a man from an old secret KGB program who has Middle East connections, as well as the same skills Zack developed in the CIA Gondola program. Zack must discover if ex-KGB agent now Shiite, has warheads from a Russian SS-19 missile, and if so, the number and destination. Zack confronts the ex-KGB agent on the mental battlefield trying to stop the nuclear destruction of cities around the globe. You won’t know if he succeeds until the last tick of the clock!
