A Fortnight of Fury - Paperback

by David Culberson (Author)

The Cold War was in high gear. Terrorist attacks around the world were on the increase; two hundred forty-one US Marines having just been killed by a suicide bomber in Beirut. Reagan was loaded for bear. America needed a win. Reagan pounced. His target was an idyllic island in the Windward chain of the lower Caribbean whose primary export, besides tourism, is nutmeg. A couple of hundred miles north of Grenada, a bumbling group of island misfits have stolen a boat and kidnapped the girlfriend of the local dive master and tough guy, Captain Jay. Captain Jay wants her back. He and a close-knit group of friends begin an island-hopping chase with the kidnappers that leads them through the Caribbean and, eventually, to the island of Grenada―on the eve of Operation Urgent Fury.
