Gambit by Karna Small Bodman

By Joe Moore |
gambit.jpgSeveral commercial airplanes crash in flames - no one how or why it's happening. With the economy tanking, the White House again turns to Dr. Cameron Talbot to develop a missile defense system against a mysterious weapon -- and she soon finds herself enmeshed in international plots, political intrigue and a romantic triangle at the highest levels of government.

"Gambit is a truly frightening story with the crystal ring of truth and authenticity; well-written, well-plotted and as topical as a novel can get." -- Nelson DeMille

"Not only does Karna Bodman know the White House inside and out, but she also knows how to tell a gripping, fast-paced tale of political intrigue filled with the kind of delicious insider detail most other novelists have to make up." -- Joseph Finder

"Bristling with fascinating insider detail, Gambit is an exciting journey of heart-pounding suspense, steamy romance, global politics and cutting-edge science. Make yourself comfortable. Order in some food. You're in for a great ride." -- Gayle Lynds
