| LIES ARE TRUTH, Book 3 |
Team Peregrine conducted a Top Secret Black operation to protect the United States from a Russian strategic nuclear attack during the Cold War, 1945-1991. The US and USSR could execute strategic attacks with a 'push of a button'. Missiles launched at targets thousands of miles distant delivered nuclear warheads on enemy targets 30 minutes later. The US and the USSR both faced a nuclear apocalypse as each superpower had the capability to annihilate the other as a country and do so in minutes. This horrifying specter of destruction was codified by the term Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD). The US and USSR were both restrained from launching a first attack by the ability of the enemy to launch a counterstrike. The MAD concept was well known by everyone in the US as an ominous threat to our survival as a nation.
Author Gary Bowser pulls from his years of experience running
spies as a Case Officer and director of a clandestine organization to
write these action-packed thrillers.
The first Superpower to develop an effective defense system against intercontinental nuclear-warhead tipped missiles would radically alter the MAD balance and dominate the world. The US and Soviet Union were locked in a deadly, highly classified 'secret intelligence war' to find cracks in each other's strategic armor.
Team Peregrine was an elite group of Special Operations counterintelligence personnel and US Air Force Foreign Technology Division Det 3 case officers. These case officers were experts in various high-tech domains. The Det 3 case officers ran spies against the Soviet research program to build a missile defense system. Team Peregrine engaged the KGB at every step to stop the Soviets from building a missile defense system which would give the Communists the leverage to dominate the world.
Even today, much of what happened in that "intelligence war" remains classified. However, with the passage of time, some of the curtain can be pulled back to reveal one of the reasons the US won the Cold War. The Team Peregrine series of books gives a peek behind the curtain about a small group of US military and intelligence warriors who helped the US win the Cold War "intelligence war".
