Thriller Military
A U.S. Navy F/A-18 flying over Afghanistan is suddenly
diverted and ordered to bomb a building in Pakistan, where a
meeting between al Qaeda and the Taliban is taking place.
After destroying their target, the fighter jet is
immediately hit by Stinger missiles and the pilots eject
over Pakistan. They are captured, assaulted, and dragged
through the streets of Peshawar. The world is on edge. The fliers are quickly forced onto a secret Falcon jet
headed for the Netherlands, where they’ll stand trial for
war crimes at the International Criminal Court. The building
they hit was actually a medical post constructed by
Europeans for Afghan refugees—-and sixty-five innocent
people were killed. It’s up to Washington criminal defense lawyer and former
Navy SEAL Jack Caskey to defend the two navy officers and
get to the bottom on what is beginning to seem like an
orchestrated event. The National Security Council pushes
President Obama to employ the act passed under George W.
Bush that authorizes the use of force to extract Americans
held by the International Criminal Court. While the
president initially approves a special operations team to
grab the Americans, he later withdraws to cooperate with the
ICC. Already fighting a losing battle for his clients, an
outraged Caskey works with his contacts in the shadowy world
of special operations and CIA operatives to free his clients
himself. . . or help them battle through an international
show trial and face imprisonment—-for life.
