5.0 out of 5 stars From The Author, October 14, 2005

Since we've experienced some problems getting a book description up on the page, I wanted to post this for the benefit of interested readers. I'll skip the usual publishing hype. This is a contemporary thriller dealing with Al Qaeda terrorism. Frustrated by the course of the war on terrorism, the Secretary of Defense has formed a covert unit of the most experienced special operators in the military to move around the world in small teams hunting terrorist leaders. This team, led by Master Sergeant Ed Storey of Delta Force (or Combat Applications Group if you prefer), begins with the capture and elimination of an Al Qaeda cell in the Philippines. The strike uncovers a plot to assasinate the American President during his tour of Asia in 2003. Simultaneously, the FBI in the U.S. is investigating possible terrorist cells in Virginia and Michigan. The action moves through Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, and back to the U.S.. Just when it seems that the terrorist plot is becoming clear, it turns out to be something larger, different, and totally unexpected. The scenarios are real world, and the special ops techniques and Al Qaeda methods are the current state of the art. Check it out. By the way, I only put up the stars because Amazon made me. You won't feel ripped off--you've got my word on it.

Just finished this excellent book and hope there is more coming from author. Very real in details - from al Qaeda to US SOF. I truly hope there is more coming from William Christie. This was one of the best books I have read in a while.
