Cauldron by Larry Bond

The end of the century is upon us - the shattering legacy of the millennium...

That old nightmare the Soviet colossus has been ripped apart into a dozen quarrelling republics, while the newly liberated States of eastern Europe struggle to rebuild after decades of communist misrule. But America is completely obsessed with its own internal problems and with economic threats from the Far East. So in place of the two former power blocks there are now a dozen smaller coalitions forever combining, splitting and re-combining.

As old nationalistic hatreds boil to the surface, there are some nations eager to exploit their new economic power to satisfy age-old and long-suppressed imperial ambitions - using military force if necessary.

While a new wave of atrocity and massacre ripples across the Balkans, and Russia slides further into anarchy, France and Germany seize their chance to establish themselves jointly as a single superpower dominating the whole of Europe.

But three small countries stand defiantly in the way of this new tyranny. as tensions begin to soar, America and Britain are forced to intervene, and northern Europe explodes in a war that neither side wants but neither side can afford to lose...

Peopled with a large and diverse cast of characters, this enthralling novel of modern warfare examines the shocking and chillingly imminent possibilities of a world convulsed by many-sided conflict.
