Book Synopsis

The U.S. President has directed his close friend Patrick Hanley to hunt down the most wanted terrorist in the world and eliminate him. The Assassination of the Turkey President and then the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, Turkey were orchestrated by the Assassin. Hanley and his partners, Alan Newton, and Vladimir Vadim track the Assassin to his safe house in the Alborz Mountains north of Tehran. Hanley, Vadim, and Newton are successful in entering Iran undetected. Their effective use of explosives causes an avalanche that almost destroys the Assassin's safe house. Suspicions are the Assassin was involved with the Iranian President's plan to destroy Israel. Iran had developed a high-powered microwave weapon that would kill all living things exposed to the blast but would only cause minimal property damage. Israel's new X-brand missile radar system had to be compromised with Iran's new non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse warhead for up to thirty minutes so that 56 Iranian missiles could be fired into Israel from Syria and Jordan. Hanley, Vadim, and Newton are unable to stop the missile attack on Israel. The blasts from the warheads eradicate most of the living beings in Israel. The world was in turmoil but no country wanted to deal with Iran. The invading troops had the country to themselves including the mounds of dead bodies they had to deal with.
