"""After his hugely successful novel The Able Archers, Brian J. Morra is back and so are the rich personalities from his first book. Cattani, Levchenko, and the Red-haired Major are all in fine form in The Righteous Arrows. The battlefield has moved from the nuclear Cold War threat to the shadow wars of Afghanistan, but the suspense, excellence in writing, and his ability to weave real world events and capabilities into a robust fictional story continues to set Morra apart. The Righteous Arrows is an exciting read."" -General (Ret) Doug Brown, 7th Commander United States Special Operations Command ""Brian Morra has done it again. His main characters from The Able Archers return in this Cold War spy thriller, and Brian delivers a story that is both realistic and riveting. Readers will not be able to put it down!"" -Michael Morell, former Acting Director and Deputy Director CIA ""With vivid characters and a fast-paced plot, The Righteous Arrows takes the reader from the jungles of Cambodia and a Soviet nuclear command bunker in East Germany to the mountains of Afghanistan for the decisive battle of the Cold War. It is clear we haven't heard the last from Kevin Cattani and Ivan Levchenko."" -Michael Vickers, Former CIA Operations Officer and Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and author of By All Means Available: Memoirs of a Life in Intelligence, Special Operations, and Strategy ""The Righteous Arrows is absolutely compelling entertainment with an important message about how well-intentioned policies can lead to unintended consequences."" -Jeffrey ""Skunk"" Baxter, Grammy-winning guitarist and Double Inductee (Steely Dan and Doobie Brothers) to the Rock'n Roll Hall of Fame, and leading consultant to the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community ""A cracking Cold War read! It's great to see the characters of Cattani and Levchenko back again, but this time on less friendly terms . . . Buckle up for the ride as this fast-paced and accessible thriller takes you on a perilous mission to a nuclear bunker in East Germany and the brutal Soviet war in Afghanistan. As a former US intelligence officer, Morra knows his stuff and his writing brings you enough detail to sound authentic, without smothering you in technological elements. It's Cold War Conversations recommended!"" -Ian Sanders, founder and editor of Cold War Conversations ""Brian Morra has done it again with another fast-paced Cold War thriller. The dusty desolation of Afghanistan provides the central backdrop for this latest chapter of the Great Game-Cold War version. Kevin Cattani is back in heavy action while his Soviet counterpart issues a dire warning about the unintended consequences of America's actions."" -Tony Thomas, General, US Army (Ret.), 11th Commander United States Special Operations Command"
