THE PILOT TURNED TO THE BACK, LOOKED at the stacked bricks just behind her seat. Red wires led from a button on the yoke to the center of the block. It wasn't the plastic explosive that mattered. At best, that would leave a small crater. It was what was in the center of the blocks that mattered. Death, she had long ago decided, would not be nearly so bad as her life. She tasted the salt of the tears as they rolled down her face and smiled.

A Suspense Thriller

The remote and impenetrable Pakistani mountains have offered refuge to the worst enemies of civilization since the time of Alexander. Now, the world faces a new challenge. Reared from birth to harbor a seething hatred, a lone man is about to unleash a firestorm that will rage for centuries. And the window of opportunity to stop him is shutting much faster than Washington D.C. can hope to deal with.

A top lethal operative, Will Parker is embedded within the terrorist's ranks to stop this catastrophic disaster. But with a nuclear core on its way to the U.S., Parker will go to any lengths to stop a biological terror more lethal than anything the USA — and the world — has ever faced.
