"State of emergency" by Mark Cameron. This book is published by Pinnacle. This edition was published in 2013 and has 416 pages. This is Book 3 of the Jericho Quinn series.
Dirty atomic bombs (very low intensity) explode in America and Russia simultaneously. College students are used as mule to carry radioactive material. Shady arms dealer Ivan Zamora gets hold of a Russian nuke. Jericho Quinn and Jacque Tibido are pressed into action by NSA, assisted by buxom Veronica Garcia and with support of the enigmatic Emico Miyagi.
What is Babayaga? Who will acquire the bomb? What is the target? Can Jericho save the day?
Marc has written a decent story for most part. However the pace is on the slowish side. With a nuclear bomb in question one would expect a more frantic pace. The climax also does not keep up with the story and turns out inadequate.
Motorbikes are constant feature of Jericho Quinn novels. This one has them too. To make matters interesting here Jericho and Ivan participate in Dakar really.
The story takes place mostly in America and Bolivia / Mexico. A new character of a female Russian spy has been introduced but if I remember correctly she does not appear in the fourth book. This books end is the start of next one.
You can give it a miss.
