A Hard Rain

A HARD RAIN, the penultimate installment in the COUNTDOWN TO WAR series, is set in September 1962 as tensions mount and global events edge closer to conflict. The story explores the escalating Cold War maneuvers, including Soviet missile developments and political distractions in Washington, all amid the backdrop of hurricane season in the Caribbean. With world leaders seemingly unaware of the impending danger, the narrative suggests that misjudgments and naïveté could bring catastrophe closer than anyone expects. This installment offers a tense portrayal of a world on the brink of war, depicted through a detailed and historical lens.
