The “master of the techno-thriller” moves from the oval office to the frontlines as war erupts in the Middle East in this “fast-paced novel” (Publishers Weekly).
In the wake of the Gulf War, a madman still holds the reins of power in Iraq. When his call for a Holy War unites the Arab world against Israel, the resulting combat is certain to have Earth-shattering implications. Israel stands ready to unleash its nuclear arsenal, and it’s up to American President Zack Pontowski to deescalate the situation.
As military and geopolitical forces reach a fever pitch, the only chance to avoid Armageddon is to take out Iraq’s chemical weapons arsenal. Pontowski dispatches the 45th Tactical Fighter Wing—a squadron led by his own grandson—to execute the mission.
