AB - A CIA thriller based on the 1965 Apollo Affair, the true story of the disappearance in Western Pennsylvania of 365 pounds of highly-enriched uranium from a nuclear processing plant. “Not first-rank, then—” says <em>Kirkus Reviews</em> in its critique of the novel, “but the genuinely scary, nearly believable premise makes this a solid bet for thriller fans, especially those with a taste for issues and headlines.”
