White House staffer discovers staggering "EMP" threat that could wipe out all electronics and set us back 100 years.
White House Director of Homeland Security receives intelligence about a possible threat to the country's national security. Her love interest is sent overseas to the very area where the plot is brewing. Will he become a target? Will he escape? (Don't be too sure).
Several NYT bestselling authors describe CASTLE BRAVO this way:
"Smart, slick and exciting as hell. Castle Bravo is one great read. Karna Small Bodman has an insider's feel for the corridors of power. A winner!" -- Christopher Reich
"Bodman skillfully moves her players around on a global chessboard, presenting a provocative concept that rings all too real. You're there, in a labyrinth of intrigue where danger and drama abide. It's fresh and relevant and makes you clamor for more." -- Steve Berry
