About This Book

The narrative follows ex-agent Michael Vance, who pilots a handcrafted replica sailcraft in the Aegean and is ambushed when a hijacked Hind gunship delivers armed terrorists to a small island housing a corporate laser launch facility. The attackers quickly overwhelm security, commandeer the launch vehicle and convert it into a ballistic missile capable of delivering a stolen thermonuclear warhead to an American city. Left for dead and washed ashore, Vance becomes the only obstacle between the terrorists and catastrophic attack, while the operation's leader orchestrates the strike with professional mercenaries and elaborate deception.
