Book Overview
At the start of the Cold War, the greatest threat to America wasn't the Russians and the looming Communist threat. Rather, it was an elite organization bent on world domination, a group so powerful only nuclear weapons could safeguard against them. The CIA knew what these men were capable of, and in a last ditch attempt to protect America against them, they built two high-security arsenals deep within the earth--one declassified in the Nevada desert, and one heavily under wraps in Antarctica. For over 50 years, no one spoke of The Citadel, the fortress deep under the ice in Antarctica that held the most powerful weapon known to man--until the Organization returned, hellbent on destruction. Captain Jim Vaughn is a government agent known for performing missions no one else wants. So when an old colleague approaches him with an assignment, he can't refuse--even if the mission has been set in motion by a dead man's letter, found in Antarctica and dated 1949. The Citadel has been cracked, and the only man who can safeguard it is Vaughn. Nothing short of the fate of mankind rests on his shoulders.

Good book, but a little disappointing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The Citadel is a pretty well done book, but I am a little disappointed because I had expected something new from Robert Doherty (Bob Mayer), but instead just got a copy and paste of one of his earlier books (writing as Bob Mayer entitled Eternity Base). A good portion of The Citadel is taken straight from Eternity Base (in many instances word for word, just with different character names). For those who've never read Eternity Base then this will be new to you and worth reading, but if you've read Eternity Base then the only real new stuff is the little bit that pertains to the "Organization" from the Section 8 book. I would have preferred an entirely new book instead of a basic re-hash of Eternity Base with a little added to it, but oh well. Hopefully his next books will not be like The Citadel and just take one of Bob Mayer's older books and just basically change the character names.
