Brilliant in its storytelling and prophetic in its predictions, The Last Raven - a dazzling novel of suspense and a chilling cautionary tale - confirms Craig Thomas' place in the front-rank of top-selling international authors.

Inside the Russian border with Afghanistan, the wrecked fuselage of a military transport plane lies half-submerged in a lake. Everyone on board is dead - the crew burned and all identification lost. Patrick Hyde, Sir Kenneth Aubrey's top intelligence operative, witnesses this eerie scene, and discovers, to his horror, the identity of one of the bodies. The crash is no accident. Instead, it's an expertly planned shootdown.

The time is the present - when the hunger for democracy makes world peace a viable possibility at last. But there are those - in America, Russia, and Great Britain - who have everything to lose if peace prevails. Their methods are as violent as their aims, and human life and love have no meaning for them.

The Last Raven - a tale of political terror and patriotism run mad-ranges from the icy mountains of Tadzhikistan to the inner sanctums of the newly enlightened Kremlin, from Susaslito jazz joints to London's most exclusive old-boys clubs, finally to climax in a fierce and deadly confrontation on the shores of California's beautiful Lake Shasta.
