Grafton and Carmellini are back and joined by the Navy SEALs
to battle terrorists on the high seas in this action-packed
tale by New York Times bestseller Stephen Coonts A luxurious vacation cruise to the exotic locales of the Red
Sea and the Gulf of Aden turns into a nightmare for
passengers and crew when their ship is suddenly attacked and
captured by a band of bloodthirsty Somali pirates. An
initial rescue mission ends in failure; the decks are
covered in blood. Unless they are paid a ransom of $200
million dollars within seven days, the pirates threaten to
execute all their hostages. But information gleaned from a
captured Al Qaeda operative indicates that there is a far
more dangerous conspiracy afoot. Once the ransom is paid, Islamic militants intend to swoop
in and slaughter the passengers in an orgy of terror, hoping
to provoke a massive American military response that will
set the Muslim world aflame. Jake Grafton is assigned to
negotiate with the brutal pirate chief while his right hand
man, Tommy Carmellini, and a team of CIA and Navy SEAL
operatives mount an undercover operation to save the
hostages and keep the U.S. from being maneuvered into a
murderous war.
