Description
Terrorism hits Main Street America
When a rogue CIA consultant goes AWOL from his Middle Eastern post in response to his brother's plea for help, he arrives just in time to witness his brother's murder. For years, Jonathan Hunter and his brother Kevin Mallory had not spoken-until Kevin's final words, "... Khalifah ... Not Them ... Maya."
Pursuing his brother's killer, Hunter stumbles into a nest of horrifying terrorist activity by Middle Eastern refugees, which sparks a backlash across America. In the shadows, Hunter's mentor, the omnipotent Oscar LaRue, is playing a dangerous game with Russian Intelligence. Neither Hunter nor LaRue realizes that a new threat-the Iranian threat-has entered the game. Stakes rise as two shadowy players are one step ahead of Hunter and LaRue-Khalifah, a terrorist mastermind, and Caine, a nomadic assassin who dances with the highest bidder.
As attacks escalate and the country drifts toward another Middle East conflict, innocent refugees become trapped between the terrorists and the terrorized. Prejudice, hate, and fear vent everywhere. Is this who we've become? Before the country explodes, Hunter must find Khalifah, learn the next terror target, and pray he's in time to stop further annihilation.
