Prince Ibrahim al Saud is a member of the Saudi Royal family, a successful businessman with vast wealth and contacts throughout the West’s political and business circles. He also sponsors terror attacks using his wealth and companies to organize killings and bombings around the world. Now he’s about to launch his most deadly plan: Using nuclear bombs smuggled out of the former Soviet Union, he plans to deliver them to military bases throughout the United States. Not only will the damage to American armed forces be catastrophic, but the collateral damage to nearby US cities will kill hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions.
Peter Thorn and Helen Gray, working together to solve the death of a nuclear weapons inspector in Russia, find unexplained threads that make them a threat to Saud’s plan. Their investigations put them on the wrong side of official Washington, exacerbated by a corrupt official within the FBI. Convinced of what they have discovered, the fugitives must avoid arrest long enough to find the missing pieces of Saud’s plan and stop it before he devastates the USA.
