The Novel

The Satan Bomb is a fast-paced novel which takes us from New York to Pyongyang and on to Buffalo and Toronto. A vicious international assassin has been trained to create havoc in New York City. His guile in disarming and dispatching any adversary swiftly was not only a necessity to his vocation, it was mandatory. His methods intended to cause indescribable suffering and death to thousands. Their deaths will not be instantaneous, but they will be painful and excruciating. Will he succeed, or will Jameson triumph where others have failed?

Implications

Another attack on America in the likes of 9/11 could bring America to its knees. This time, the menace does not originate among the dictatorships of the Middle East but in the despotic regime of North Korea. Jack Segal has succeeded in this venture, keeping the reader in shock and suspense.
