Saint Anthony's Fire — Larry Simmons

Saint Anthony's Fire is an action adventure novel that revolves around chemical and biological weapons and what could be happening to former Soviet black weapons. In this novel Soviet Major Alexander Gurnov relives the horrors of his wars in horrible nightmares that drive him to escape his reality, and vodka is insufficient for the task. He is the ring leader of a Muscovite Mafia that seizes a Russian freighter loaded with black weapons. The denouement takes place in the mouth of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii as U.S. Navy Seals risk it all to defuse a weapon of mass destruction.
