Fire and Fury: The Brink of WWIII

Review: This story begins with a North Korean cargo ship rescue by an American clipper off the African coast as Somali pirates board and the nuclear bounty is taken. The hawkish, right-hand General of Kim Jong lies and deceives his leader about the rescue as though it were a hijacking by Americans as only one message from the ship is turned over to Kim Jong. The second crisis unfolds as a General-lead coup. Nuclear warhead tips that can be married to an ICBM are railroaded into the nation from China in the disguise of a coal shipment being returned. The best diplomatic channel during the crisis is an effective college coach who has been trained to coordinate the transport of CIA agents to intercept the shipment in the disguise of players on his team. This short story is published on Amazon to provide quick access to readers without using a formal publisher. The story is fictional but a coup could happen and informal diplomacy may be useful in the real theater of war.
