Product Description:
From a stunning new voice in international intrigue comes a dramatic story of high-stakes missions, treachery, honor, an unlikely hero, and the ultimate terrorist attack...
Six hundred sixty tons of Semtex is detonated in Libya -- the last of their deadly stockpile. The operation seems to have gone smoothly, but within minutes of the explosion, CIA agent Richard Lawrence discovers that a shipment of the explosive was hijacked en route. Days later, a glory-seeking 'Emir' broadcasts to the world that he is planning a massive terrorist strike against America. He says he will destroy a major U.S. landmark. And he gives a time line of one month. Now a desperate chase is on, as the men bent on attacking the United States use every weapon at their disposal to evade the American authorities. Time and again they prove willing to destroy anything -- and anyone -- standing in their way. But Hamilton Turbee, an autistic mathematician working for the newly created 'TTIC' agency, finds a way to track them. Through his flawed genius, he will give the nation its only chance at survival... if the American leadership will listen to him. As the enemies near their destination, and an attack becomes imminent, it is up to the TTIC team, still without a true leader, to take that chance, and stop the massive explosion that could destroy the lives of millions. As the world watches in horror, the President asks TTIC two questions... Where will the attack be? And can it be stopped...
