America's largest cities are in flames. Its majestic landmarks are in ruins. Oceans and boundaries offer no protection. It is the first sophisticated, intelligently planned, and utterly ruthless terrorist campaign waged on U.S. soil. As national leaders, armies, and artificial intelligence strive to win the unconventional war, two men--once friends, now adversaries to the death--race to a decisive confrontation.

The story is set at a very good pace with an intricate storyline that I appreciate. The author did an excellent job of creating multiple storylines and tying them all in. I was also impressed with the amount of research that had to have gone into writing such a story. Espionage is not one dimensional. There are so many aspects to it that a novice cannot just start writing about it and get it right the first time. The author had clearly researched the various countries, technology, and even history.
The characters were great. I found myself drawn to them and even tearing up at one point. I love it when an author can draw me in like this. In the book, I was able to see into the heads of all the characters including the terrorists and the one behind it all. Even after I knew who the puppeteer was, I was kept in the dark about his motives. Very well done.
Before reading this book, keep in mind that the book was written in the 90s which means a lot has changed in the Middle East and with America’s relationships with the countries there. You need to think back to that period as you read. I know it was hard at times to separate what I know as historical fact and what happened in the book.
Of course, there is violence. You cannot read an espionage book without it. It is not gruesome.
A great read. Highly recommend to anyone who likes this genre.
Note: I had this book on my bookshelf for years with no idea of where it came from. So, no one asked for a positive review. ( )
