It's just seven days before Memorial Day, and the nation's
capital is buzzing with last-minute preparations for the
unveiling of the magnificent new memorial honoring the men
and women who fought in World War II. Despite the hopeful
energy of the city, Mitch Rapp senses trouble. A spike in
CIA intelligence has pointed to a major terrorist attack on
the United States. Now it's up to Rapp to pull out all the
stops.
Rapp immediately leaves for Afghanistan, where he leads a
special forces unit on a daring commando raid across the
border into a remote Pakistani village. Their target: an al
Qaeda stronghold. Within a subterranean room, Rapp and his
team discover a treasure trove of maps, computers, files,
and bills of lading for multiple freighters heading to U.S.
ports -- all pointing to plans for a catastrophic nuclear
attack on Washington, DC.
Information is quickly relayed back to CIA headquarters,
and a nuclear emergency support team scrambles to the
scene. In a few hours, the freighters have been located and
disarmed and the danger has been averted. Or has it?
Despite all the backslapping and congratulations, Mitch
Rapp can't shake the feeling that the operation seemed just
a bit too easy. Rapp follows his instincts on a quest to
unearth the whole truth. What he finds is truly terrifying,
and with Memorial Day closing fast, Rapp must find a way to
prevent a disaster of unimaginable proportions.
Packed with the heartstopping action and political intrigue
that Vince Flynn's fans love, here is a stylish thriller
exalting America's past battles for freedom as well as its
continued fight for peace.
