Countdown to Armageddon / A Stranger in Paradise (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798366422635)

In this amazing double-sized volume are some of Edward M. Lerner's best works:

In Countdown to Armageddon, terrorists have obtained an atomic bomb and a would-be martyr eager to deliver it-and that's the good news. The bad news, unknown even to the terrorists, is that their physicist has also found a way to take his new bomb back in time to a turning point in European history.

Harry Bowen, an American physicist, and Terrence Ambling, a British agent turned historian, are determined to stop Abdul Faisel - but time is running out...
