The Big Thrill Recommends: THE RIGHTEOUS ARROWS by Brian J. Morra

Book Cover: THE RIGHTEOUS ARROWSRecommended by Tracey Devlyn

In THE RIGHTEOUS ARROWS, author Brian J. Morra transports readers to a critical juncture of the Cold War, when a USAF intelligence officer must navigate his way through Soviet paranoia, a U.S. shadow war, and a slightly unhinged CIA officer.

After saving the world from nuclear holocaust, United States Air Force intelligence officer Kevin Cattani finds himself back in East Germany, inside a permanently restricted area, assessing the Soviets’ current nuclear readiness. Needless to say, things don’t go well, and he’s forced to flee the country.

Meanwhile, in Moscow, GRU intelligence officer General-Major Ivan Levchenko is alerted to the security breach and heads to East Germany to investigate. There, he uncovers a startling fact: one of the intruders is none other than Kevin Cattani—the very man who helped him defuse the Able Archer crisis the previous year.

Fast forward two-and-a-half years later, Kevin and Ivan stand on opposite sides of a CIA-fueled shadow war at the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Can the two uneasy allies prevent another dangerous clash between superpowers, or will paranoia and mistrust triumph over reason and diplomacy?

Morra skillfully navigates the intricate and dangerous dynamics of the U.S.-Soviet conflict in the 1980s. THE RIGHTEOUS ARROWS is a tense, character-driven spy thriller that not only entertains but also serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of peace and the steep cost of freedom.
