Opis

In this new novel in the terrorist crime-fighting series, featuring F.B.I. agent Karen Raney, our heroine lies in hospital, near death, victim of gunshot wounds incurred in a firefight with Al Qaeda terrorists. Her prognosis is of great concern to many. Al Qaeda plots against her as they pray for her demise. An American law enforcement leader prays for her speedy recovery and early return to the fray. The leader of a secret American paramilitary patriot group prays for her life and recovery of unique bonds they have forged. Together, these two have allied in not only terrorist crime-fighting focused on rooting out and destroying Al Qaeda terrorists embedded on American soil, but also in an intense personal friendship and romantic liaison. The terrorists are intent on importing deadly weapons of mass destruction onto American soil. Highly productive terror fighting contacts between patriots and formal law enforcement must be reestablished, even expanded, in order to successfully address the new Al Qaeda menace. Ultimately, the fight is carried into the deepest bowers of the enemy's foreign stronghold-a country hiding a long-running secret nuclear weapons program. American leaders are in denial and would prefer to ignore a program about to become the target of an unlikely coalition of Americans who want not only to confirm the nuclear weapons program's existence and location but who want to bring about its total destruction. The patriots have an additional secret agenda. Utilizing fascinating cutting edge technology to ferret out embedded terrorists, the feisty patriot organization also takes aim at a breed of American capitalists and political leaders who believe their destiny can soar to new heights on the backs of the American people and they owe no special allegiance to America or to their fellow citizens. The patriots think otherwise and they make their contempt for these individuals manifest, in daring ways and in the most forceful and emphatic terms.
