A patriot who has always put his nation first, U.S. Marine LtCol Peter Newman must track the threat to its source and eliminate it.But a new nightmare emerges when his cover is blown. Newman's wife disappears in Jerusalem, taken captive by those whose creed is terror and destruction. And with time rapidly running out, Peter Newman faces the most devastating choice of his life: rescue the woman he loves from certain torture and death...or complete his mission before the fires of Armageddon are unleashed upon the world. Plot Summary: What happens, When & Where, Central Characters, Major Conflicts Peter Newman is called out of hiding by General Grisham. Not only is his and his wife Rachel's cover being compromised, there are also rumors that Iraq has 3 nuclear weapons. Grisham wants Peter to go on a hunt for the nukes, but before he can leave his wife and her best friend are kidnapped. Newman teams up with the Israeli security guy who is the husband of the other missing woman to try to find them. But a phone call reveals that Peter's old enemy, a Russain Ex-KGB guy, has kidnapped them to force Peter to uncover a mole in the US for him. Style Characterisics: Pacing, clarity, structure, narrative devices, etc. Very lengthy with lots going on and loads of details about military and security procedures. It took a while to get going but once the kidnapping happened the suspense started to really flow. There are some improbabilities, but not enough to mar this as an entertaining and suspenseful read. The behind the scenes looks at the military gadgets that Israel has and the explanation of how they would be willing to use their nuclear weapons was very illuminating. How Good is it? The Best part is the "Insider" details about how things work in the military, security, and political realms. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
