Book description
The world's most elite counterterrorism unit has just taken its game to
an entirely new level. And not a moment too soon . . .
From behind the rows of razor wire, a new breed of counterterrorism
operator has emerged.
Just as skilled, just as fearsome, and just as deadly as their
colleagues, Delta Force's newest members have only one thing setting
them apart-their gender. Part of a top-secret, all-female program
codenamed The Athena Project, four of Delta's best and
brightest women are about to undertake one of the nation's deadliest assignments.
When a terrorist attack in Rome kills more than twenty Americans,
Athena Team members Gretchen Casey, Julie Ericsson, Megan Rhodes, and
Alex Cooper are tasked with hunting down the Venetian arms dealer
responsible for providing the explosives. But there is more to the
story than anyone knows.
In the jungles of South America, a young U. S. intelligence officer
has made a grisly discovery. Surrounded by monoliths covered with
Runic symbols, one of America's greatest fears appears to have come
true. Simultaneously in Colorado, a foreign spy is close to
penetrating the mysterious secret the U. S. government has hidden
beneath Denver International Airport.
As Casey, Ericsson, Rhodes, and Cooper close in on their target, they
will soon learn that another attack-one of unimaginable
proportions-has already been set in motion, and the greatest threat
they face may be the secrets kept by their own government.
