Larry Bond's First Team

Larry Bond, master of the technothriller, and his accomplished cowriter, Jim De Felice, kick off a series with this first volume about the Team, a maverick group formed by the CIA. Unencumbered by the usual governmental or military red tape, the Team is charged with handling threats to national security considered to be out of the ordinary. Their objective here is to locate radioactive waste in a former Soviet republic before someone turns it into a dirty bomb aimed at the U.S. The mission is jeopardized when their unknown opponent frames some of the Team for the murder of a local Russian fixer.
