Product Description
Jon Bennett is a top Wall Street strategist turned senior White House advisor. But nothing has prepared him for the terror that he will face. Saddam Hussein dispatches his top hit men to assassinate the President of the United States. Iraqi terrorists spread carnage throughout London, Paris, and Riyadh...and the Butcher of Baghdad has a nuclear ace in his hand that he has not yet played.
Only a solid Arab-Israeli coalition against Iraq can keep the U.S. and other Western nations from
certain devastation. And only Bennett and his beautiful partner, Erin McCoy, can make that happen. Their secret project - a billion dollar oil deal off the coast of Gaza - could be the basis for an historic peace treaty and enormous wealth for every Israeli and Palestinian.
But just before the treaty can be signed, Israeli commandos foil an Iraqi scud missile launch, recovering a nuclear warhead and evidence that the next attack will level Washington, New York, and Tel Aviv.
Now, the Israeli prime minister gives the American President an ultimatum: melt down Baghdad within one hour...or Israel will do it herself.
From Jerusalem, Bennett and McCoy must summon all of their stealth and savvy to save themselves - and the world - from absolute destruction.

 Great!!!! August 16, 2008
Another great book using religious texts to provide wonderful insight into what may be going on in the world. Many of the fictional events have become actual reality!
Very realistic book - exciting! July 25, 2008
This is a great book! Quite a bit like a vintage Tom Clancy or maybe Clive Cussler but more believable. I really liked it and am planning to read the rest of the series.
 Fiction, not education June 23, 2008

Anyone who says this book is educational is downright laughable. This author is paranoid. I guess people LOVE hype.
If you'd like an education, don't read FICTION. Take this book for what it is: a story.

Good story line, too many slow spots, needs more action and less talking ie: too much questioning between players. Give an order and someone asks why? right in the middle of an action scene.

Probably the title says it all. I was absolutely "stuck" with this book--couldn't put it down! Every time I wanted to stop reading at the end of the page, I couldn't because something was happening and I had to go on! It was absolutely enthralling! The other interesting thing about it is that I learned so much about the culture and mindset of both sides in the crisis of the Middle East. While what I learned didn't change my mind about what I feel is the best solution, I understand better how the other side thinks.
