The Third Army (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780881452952)

Welcome to Karlovec, a small town that the Soviets had started to build a nuclear plant in, but it was never completed. Now in the post-Soviet era Western firms are desperate to take over and build the plant. They turn their attention to the town's mayor who finds himself courted on all sides. "... a drama of stripping away guilty secrets, of exposing lies and counterfeit identities, of discovering betrayal and of playing games of deceit ... Sutton's play casts a fascinating spell as it focuses on an idealistic mayor of a small city who finds himself courted by a rich refugee who has returned to his native land ... [as the play seizes] ... on a real problem, the fate of a Chernobyl-like nuclear power plant called Temelin." -Hartford Courant "The time is post-Cold War. The place is the small town of Karlovec, neighboring on the Soviet-built, but unfinished nuclear power plant, as Western industries compete for the lucrative contract to reconstruct the plant, they try to win the political support of the town and its mayor, Pavel Marek, who must weigh the safety of his people against the alluring promise of economic prosperity." -Harbor News
