In the dead of night, Lieutenant Kent "Rat" Rathman and his secret Special Forces counterterrorism team parachute into the Sudanese desert, where an arms merchant is delivering weapons to Wahamad
Duar, the world's most wanted terrorist. Eventually Duar is captured. But an enemy within Rat's own government sells him out—a cold-blooded act of betrayal that could lead to horrifying destruction
for the United States, for Duar's organization is planning a major strike. Before he can save his country, Rat must defend himself against political forces determined to shut him down.
James W. Huston takes the hottest issue of our time, terrorism, and explores it with a compelling, stay-up-late thriller filled with high-stakes courtroom drama, white-knuckle flying, and the
shadowy world of American Special Forces operations.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“If you like Tom Clancy, Huston is a good step up.” —Washington Post Book World
“[A] jet-fueled tale…[a] plot ripped from the pages of tomorrow’s newspapers…Action adventure readers who like a little John Grisham tossed into the mix will lock and load on this one.” —Publishers Weekly
“Reader Christopher Lane energetically gives life to this action-packed plot. A variety of accents comfortably identifies the foreign characters, while changes in pace, diction, and style create unique vocal identities for key US players. The effort is topped off with excellent engineering and production.” —AudioFile
“Lane’s high-energy performance further captures the listener’s imagination as he gives each character a distinct voice that reflects the individual’s demeanor, from arrogant doctor to sullen terrorist.” —Kliatt
“Better than Grisham…better than Clancy.” —Kirkus Reviews
