Book description
They were forced to meet by the rivers of Babylon… In Israel, two
Concorde jets take off for a UN conference that will finally bring peace
to the Middle East. Covered by F-14 fighters, accompanied by security
men, the planes carry warriors, pacifists, lovers, enemies, dignatories
- and a bomb planted by a terrorist mastermind. Suddenly they're forced
to crash-land at an ancient desert site. Here, with only a handful of
weapons, the men and women of the peace mission must make a desperate
stand against an army of crack Palestinian commandos - while the Israeli
authorities desperately attempt a rescue bid. A story of compulsive
excitement, rich in personal drama and political tension that must rank
as one of the greatest of our times. Nelson DeMille is one of
America's most popular and bestselling authors, and a new book from him
is a keenly awaited event. A former US Army Lieutenant who served in
Vietnam, he is the author of nine acclaimed novels. He lives in Long
Island, New York.
