The entire American way of life is in the hands of a special FBI team under direct orders from the President to foil this plan whatever it is. Intrigue, politics and fanaticism are all at play in this futuristic thriller.”

Leaning back in his chair, he took another look at the map displayed on the monitor. The only good news was the Pacific Ocean, separating the two countries with 6,000 miles of water. But, if the Pentagon was right, nobody was safe from the threat of war…”
