Meridian Author:Andrew Ceroni How in the early 1980s did the United States achieve the dual technological coups of Stealth black airships and the Star Wars space-based defense program, bringing the Soviet Union to its knees in less than a decade? The answer: Meridian... the biggest of America's Big Secrets since the Atom Bomb... the furthest leading edg... more »e of weapons technology-with origins more profoundly startling than the technology itself. Governments would stop at nothing to get it. At deadly odds are Laszlo Csengerny, a KGB spy haunted by nightmarish demons from his past who is driven to destroy Meridian; Pete Novak, a CIA officer and unwitting pawn of the Company who must stop Laszlo at all costs; Phil O"Donnell, a paranoid Company agent consumed with ambition and creator of the sinister JOG-a group of rogue CIA operatives protecting the Project; and Novak's dedicated friend and security escort, J.T. Brannon, a legend in covert operations and a former assassin unmatched in the art of killing. As Novak unravels the alarming secrets behind Meridian, and his principled path converges with Laszlo's desperate search for peace, Novak and his family are swept into the crosshairs of paid Company assassins. Only Brannon, now a target himself, can save Novak's family-and he is committed to sacrificing his own life to do so. The final confrontation and the profound revelation of Meridian explodes into a deadly struggle over what may be the very future of humankind itself.« less
