Synopsis

In the dead of night, Lieutenant Kent "Rat" Ratham and his secret Special Forces counterterrorism team parachute into the Sudanese desert, where an arms merchant is delivering weapons to Wahamad Duar, the world's most wanted terrorist. Eventually Duar is captured. But an enemy within Rat's own government sells him out-a cold-blooded act of betrayal that could lead to horrifying destruction for the United States, for Duar's organization is planning a major strike. Before he can save his country, Rat must defend himself against political forces determined to shut him down. James W. Huston takes the hottest issue of our time, terrorism, and explores it with a compelling, stay-up-late thriller filled with high-stakes courtroom drama, white-knuckle flying, and the shadowy world of American Special Forces operations. "Lane's high-energy performance further captures the listener's imagination as he gives each character a distinct voice that reflects the individual's demeanor, from arrogant doctor to sullen terrorist."-KLIATT

This is a book about the morality of torturing terrorists. That’s a promising premise, but the author ultimately crashes in a spiral of nonsense. It is random, but I am reading this after the 50th anniversary of MLK’s assassination, which has prompted me to read more about him. What’s striking in tha......more

Goodreads review by Roger on February 27, 2022

This is the best book I've read this year. It's both a hard-hitting special forces book and a legal drama. It's Vince Flynn meets John Grisham. The special forces part is intelligent and realistic. Rat is, of course, bigger than life, but the action is realistic, and Rat is a believable character. T......more

Goodreads review by George on December 17, 2024

An exciting military suspense novel. This is a story set in the middle of the War on Terrorism. It includes courtroom drama, fearless flying, down and dirty counter-terrorism. However, suspend belief that our hero could be on trial at the same time he conducts anti/counter terrorism ops. Both a hard......more
