The Czar Bomb

Billions would die if a revenge-seeking Iraqi oligarch unleashes a Soviet thermonuclear superbomb >The blast from the superbomb could kill millions, and the immense clouds of soot erupted into the atmosphere would destroy Earth's protective ozone layer and trigger a decades-long thermonuclear winter, causing global famine. Military historian Ben Webber finds himself in possession of documents hinting at the bomb's existence. And when bin Shadid's thug murders his pregnant wife while trying to steal the documents, Ben launches his own mission of revenge against the renegade oligarch. He joins with CIA nuclear weapons expert Carrie deLong and her team, to stop bin Shadid from detonating the bomb and prevent North Korea from getting plans for a thermonuclear weapon.
