Publisher Comments:

A small nation that bolsters the terrorist cause is flexing its military muscle in a far corner of the world. On a mission to the now-volatile Mediterranean, F/A-18 pilot Lieutenant Ed Stovic shoots down an Algerian MiG at the climax of a dramatic, high-stakes dogfight and becomes an overnight hero in the eyes of his countrymen ... and the target of a zealot's revenge. Suddeny Stovic and his loved ones have been marked for death by an enraged avenger, a pawn of powerful Islamic extremists with devastating plans for America.

But there is another player in the shadows, unseen by the hunters and the hunted alike. A specialist who moves covertly through the most secret branches of the government—a lethal tool of an ambitious NSA Director who will stop at nothing to attain the power she covets—Kent "Rat" Rathman must now devise a brilliant counterstrike . . . to save a friend and his country.

Synopsis:

Attacked in midair by an Algerian fighter, an American fighter pilot shoots down the jet--setting off an international incident that leaves America the target of an Islamic zealot. To save his country, Washington agent Kent "Rat" Rathman must devise a counterstrike.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, have read several others by the author - The Price Of Power was the one I just finished moments ago. I read it in 3 days, still helped around the house and worked at the office. Looking forward to getting the rest of his books.
