Opis

When virtually all of the political and military leadership of Pakistan are wiped out by a terrorist attack at the inauguration ceremony of a new President, a race begins to seize control of the country's vulnerable cache of nuclear weapons. CIA agent Grant Stearns and the Team Six Navy SEALs are sent on a mission to secure the top secret Wah nuclear munitions center (near the infamous Osama Bin Laden compound in Abbottabad) and unlock the mysterious Chaklala Codes - the encrypted keys to Pakistan's nuclear weapons - before anyone else gets ahold of them. Stearns and his team are pitted against a wide array of foes - from the radical jihadist Lakshar-e-Taiba (who were responsible for the deadly attacks on Mumbai India) to a strike force of Iranian Quds Special Forces -- all of whom are determined to seize the prize of Pakistan's nuclear weaponry. Working against both a ticking clock and the treachery of the Pakistan's ISI intelligence agency, not to mention the bureaucratic red tape of their own government, Stearns and the SEALS use every resource that they can bring to keep the dangerous nukes out of the hands of America's enemies. The Chaklala Codes is the second in a series of international political thrillers by award-winning author and political insider Hoyt Hilsman. The first in the series, 19 Angels was widely acclaimed, with critics calling it: "A perfect political thriller...""a dynamic hero, a canyon of exotic locales and verbal jousting between protagonists that ultimately provides the fuel that keeps one reading" "a compelling international thriller that kept me turning the pages right to the end"
