Iron Gate (Matt Pontowski Book 2)

â€˜Could very well be tomorrowâ€™s headlinesâ€™ Clive Cussler

Flying, fighting and dying, with a little loving on the side, Colonel Matt Pontowski is on a UN peacekeeping mission in South Africa.

In his legendary wing he attempts to save the country from turning into a tribal bloodbath.

Caught in the chaos of political collapse and a nuclear race, South Africa has become dangerously unstable and the atmosphere is hostile.

White radicals have discovered the secret of cold nuclear fusion and are carving out their own nation in the growing political shambles.

Suddenly the world is an alarmingly more dangerous place when super powers ally themselves with the warring factions.

Nerve gas incidents, torture and callous murders are widespread regular occurrences.

Soon Mattâ€™s own men are among the casualties and innocent people are at the mercy of maniacs.

When the United Nations intervenes, Americaâ€™s national security advisor sends in a fledgling composite air wing under Matt Pontowski to support the UN mission.

Before long Matt is thrust into the perilous realm of covert operations as he recalls the death of his beautiful Israeli wife Shoshana and the son he has left at home.

In the midst of bureaucrats and misplaced loyalties, Matt begins to question his role in the mission.

Has let himself become a pawn in somebody elseâ€™s game?

Iron Gate is a gripping novel of daring combat and heroic exploits featuring Colonel Matt Pontowski.
