Book Description

February 28, 2000
A fictional account of how our country is open to annihilation by the use of surprisingly simple tactics. The reader can not lay this book down and say, "Thank God, it could never really happen."

In this novel, an Iranian/Iraqi Coalition mounts an all or nothing bid to lay America low. A clever mass infection allows the Coalition to wage a war designed to bring the mightiest nation in the world to her knees.

In college, Mike Thompson's microbiology studies lead him to befriend two Iranian students, Malik Aziz and Sadeq Nadim. The Ayatollah's rise to power unleashes a chain of events that pulls these men in different directions, eventually pitting them against each other in the most significant conflict the United States has ever witnessed

Semi-retired General Herndon has foreseen the coming events. He must now take charge of the military response, using only the scattered remnants of America's once powerful defenses.


Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has emerged as the one super power of the world. Nobody would dare attack the United States! Sure, there will always be terrorist threats, but no leader, no nation could imagine conquering the U.S. A third world power could not even conceive of invading and defeating the mightiest nation in the history of the world.

Presidents have confessed their fears and anxieties over a possible terrorist biological attack. The Pentagon has published reports stating how vulnerable we are to forms of terrorist attacks with biological agents. The problem is that our leadership is blinded to anything but a small-scale terrorist attack. No one can conceive that we could be surprised, our population decimated, and the survivors totally defeated.

OUR ENEMIES HAVE A WEAPON WE CAN'T STOP...AND IT'S COMING TO YOUR MAILBOX.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just to raise up the adrenaline level in your blood!, July 16, 2002

Josie Rodriguez (Eagle Pass, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weapon of Jihad (Hardcover)
Reading this book raises up the adrenaline level in the reader's blood! Yes, we know that USA is a very powerful country, yet, we should never underestimate the power of the so called "third countries" Now we know, that anything can happen in this world....if we just... "LOVE and let LIVE", but no, we are not in paradise....and that is a cruel reality.
Mrs. and Mr. Crumley, we just added this book to the Eagle Pass Public Library. Eagle Pass, Texas.
GOD bless you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A chilling, exceptionally well written, contemporary novel, March 19, 2001
This review is from: Weapon of Jihad (Hardcover)
In Weapon Of Jihad, an Iranian/Iraqi Coalition seeks to strike at America through the means of biological warfare. Mike Thompson's microbiology studies in college lead him to befriend two Iranian students, Malik Aziz and Sadeq Nadim. The Ayatollah's rise to power unleashes a chain of events eventually pitting these men against each other, and the fate of America hangs in the balance. Weapon Of Jihad is a doubly chilling, exceptionally well written, contemporary novel showcasing how vulnerable the United States is to widespread biological terrorism. The fiction of today could so easily become the newspaper headline tragedy of tomorrow!

5.0 out of 5 stars Page turner, June 15, 2000
This review is from: Weapon of Jihad (Hardcover)
Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down. I even stayed up way too late because I just had to see what would happen next. The scary part about this book is that it could really happen. We are sitting ducks to this scenario. I never thought about the danger before, but it really would be too easy to do this. The plot is complicated and the story is very entertaining. I know that I will never scratch another scratch off card! Too scary!
