From the executive producer of
24 and co-creator of
Homeland, the exciting follow-up to
Gideons War involves a harrowing attempt to stop a homegrown terrorist plot to destroy the U.S. government.
Gideon Davis has settled into the quiet life of an academic and is weeks away from being married when he discovers evidence of an impending terrorist attack on U.S. soil. He brings his suspicions to his ex-girlfriend, FBI Agent Nancy Clement, but her bosses are leery of Gideons source: a meth-head informant affiliated with a white supremacist group. Both Gideon and Nancy become increasingly convinced that a serious plot exists, but their informant is murdered before they can get more details from him. So Gideon enlists his brother, Tillman—newly sprung from prison through a presidential pardon— as an undercover operative to infiltrate a group of white supremacists who may be involved.
Eventually, Gideon and Tillman get on the trail of the real conspirators and uncover their audacious plan to eliminate the entire top tier of the U.S. government during a high-value, mass-casualty attack. With only Nancys support, Gideon and Tillman go rogue to stop the powerful titan behind the conspiracy before the entire government is toppled.
With nonstop action and ticking time-bomb suspense, Hard Target will keep readers turning pages and their hearts pumping fast.

Gideon’s War involves a harrowing attempt to stop a terrorist with plans to destroy the U.S. government.
When the Joint Terrorism Task Force ignores evidence of an impending terrorist attack on U.S. soil, Gideon Davis enlists his brother Tillman as an undercover operative to infiltrate a group of white supremacists who may be involved.
Eventually, Gideon and Tillman get on the trail of two men, industrialist Dale Wilmot and his lieutenant, John Collier, who are plotting to eliminate the entire top tier of the U.S. government during the State of the Union Address. If their plan is successful, only one person will be left to take the reigns: the Designated Survivor, a man appointed by Wilmot himself. Gideon and Tillman must stop the extremist group whose influence has reached the highest echelons of political power and whose plans for attack threaten not only many lives, but democracy itself.
