Book description
The master of the techno-thriller delivers yet again in the last of the
hugely popular Jake Grafton series. In the aftermath of the September
11th terrorist attacks, spymaster Janos Ilin delivers a chilling message
to Jake Grafton: a rogue Russian general has sold four nuclear warheads
to radical Islamic terrorist group the Sword of Islam, which intends to
detonate them in America in the ultimate terror strike. Charged with
finding the warheads before America is consumed by nuclear holocaust,
Grafton soon finds himself up to his neck in power politics,
techno-billionaires, money-grubbing traitors, anarchists and spies as he
hunts for the terrorists, who, as he quickly discovers, don't all come
from the Middle East. With the help of the indomitable Toad Tarkington
and CIA burglar Tommy Carmellini, Grafton pulls out all the stops to
prevent the apocalypse that will trigger a holy war between western
civilization and the Muslim world, as the clock ticks toward Armageddon.
Stephen Coonts is the author of sixteen New York Times bestsellers that

aviator and Vietnam combat veteran, Coonts is a graduate of West
