In Bruce L. Thomas's American Insurgent Ukraine, after CIA Director JoJo Brunel orders a secret killing in Ukraine, the disappearance of Lubosh Chumak, a government employee selling American secrets, threatens to expose a hidden arrangement with Catalan, the alias of arms dealer Bart Westinghouse, who operates from Poland. To contain the danger, Defense Secretary Dick Dubfeldt sends William “Wild Bill” Eddy, commander of the Special Projects Unit beneath Denver International Airport, into Operation Bluebird. Bill’s team follows the Chumak trail from Kyiv to Catalan’s weapons network, where Belarusian General Vasil Nad is tied to illegal arms moving toward Russia’s orbit. As the SPU closes in, an old secret from Oak Island, built around Samuel Ball’s fight for freedom, points toward a buried past inside Bill’s modern hunt for Catalan in Eastern Europe.
Bruce L. Thomas’s American Insurgent Ukraine delivers a brilliant, fast-paced thriller loaded with suspense. Artem Bilyk’s Kyiv ambush of double agent Lubosh Chumak has tactical bite, while the Bar Krupnik drone meeting turns a Polish room into a trap. Thomas makes William “Wild Bill” Eddy easy to like as he weighs Dick Dubfeldt’s orders before sending Shaun Vance after evidence. Svitlana Chernenko, the Ukrainian operative posing as Ingra, stands out when she studies Catalan inside his estate. Thomas gives Catalan the reach of a convincing antagonist. He hides behind coded emails, offshore money, Polish isolation, and a CIA back channel, so his menace comes from method as much as ambition. Thomas makes the locations matter. Oak Island’s stone wharf, mined shafts, swamp, and winter threat give the 1778 Bolthole scenes bite. The SPU office below Denver International Airport gives the modern investigation a sealed nerve station. Military espionage readers will 100% want to read this book.
