Red Sniper (Caje Cole Book 5)

In the final days of the Third Reich, Soviet troops and Allied forces race toward Berlin. Within the Soviet ranks is a deadly sniper fighting in the desperate battle of Seelow Heights on the doorstep of Berlin. On the American side, sniper Caje Cole battles stubborn enemy holdouts. Little do the two snipers know that they will soon be in one another’s rifle sights. But first, U.S. forces are ordered to let the Soviets capture Berlin. In the tense peace that follows, these troops eye each other warily as the threat of a new war looms between the Soviets and their uneasy Allies. Caught in the Soviet-held territory, some American POWs once held by the Germans discover that the end of the war doesn’t mean liberation, but a new nightmare as they are swept up as political pawns by Stalin and sent to Gulags deep within the Soviet Union. Their last hope for getting home again is a team of combat veterans who undertake a daring rescue mission prompted by a U.S. Senator whose grandson is among the captives. After a lovely Russian-American spy helps plot an escape from a Gulag prison, Cole and his team must face the ruthless Soviet sniper, starving wolves, and the snowy Russian taiga in a race for freedom as the Iron Curtain falls and the Cold War begins.
