Presents John S. Powell's "The Nostradamus Prophecy". Relentless and riveting. "Just about everything goes wrong for the good guys in this thriller of nuclear warfare. As five nuclear warheads stolen from Russia menace the United States, a group of CIA operatives and assorted helpers, including Israeli agent Tovi Hersch and ex-CIA counter-terrorism agent Laurence Clarke, race against time to locate and destroy the rogue weapons. They are too late to save Southern Manhattan, however, and the debacle fulfills Nostradamus' prophecy that a Great New City would be destroyed by a nuclear explosion at the end of the millennium. By climax time, the mountains of North Carolina are swarming with agents, counteragents, spies, politicians, and weapons of various lethalities" (Publisher's blurb). An intelligent thriller, LeCarre-meets-Tom Clancy. An absolute "must-have" title for John S. Powell collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the front free endpaper by John S. Powell. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is now collectible. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant American novelists of the espionage genre of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO JOHN LE CARRE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0966192257.
