- Synopsis
- The breathtaking new novel of suspense and intrigue by the author of Ambush at Osirak, a New York Times bestseller. In Ambush at Osirak, Herbert Crowder introduced former counterintelligence agent David Llewellyn, a special U.S. envoy to Israel caught up in a conflict between Iraq and Israel over Saddam Hussein's attempt to develop nuclear weapons. Now Llewellyn is back in the fiery heart of the Middle East. In shipment from China to Saudi Arabia, an East Wind ballistic missile, the most powerful in the region, is hijacked by Palestinian terrorists. The Saudis, aided by the U.S. Navy, implement a massive sea search and naval blockade, but to no avail. The hijackers, with their deadly cargo, manage to slip through the blockade. Certain that the missile is trained on one of their cities, the Israelis mount their own search for the hijackers as they frantically examine their defense options. They have no way of knowing what warhead-biological, chemical, or nuclear-is carried by the missile. Once it is launched, they will have only fifteen minutes or less to intercept it. In the middle of the action once again are David Llewellyn and his Israeli wife, Daniella, an agent for Mossad. Llewellyn, assigned to protect a leading peace proponent who is the target of both Palestinian and Israeli extremists, experiences near-fatal brushes with terrorists. Daniellas Mossad assignment proves no less hazardous as she pursues a link to the missile hijacking turned up by Israeli intelligence, a mysterious gold scimitar talisman. Her mission is to trace it to the terrorists. When husband and wife join forces to track down the hijackers, they are plunged into circumstances as explosive as the missile they're seeking, as every tick of the clock brings Israel's largest city one step closer to oblivion.... Missile Zone is Herbert Crowder in top form- heart-stopping military suspense with a wide range of high-tech weaponry, unsuspected twists and turns, and an intriguing cast of supporting characters. As the action shifts back and forth from Israel to Iraq to Iran to Saudi Arabia, accelerating toward its spectacular conclusion, missiles, war-planes, radar systems, and satellites converge in an authentic final showdown. Missile Zone is the stellar sequel that all fans of Ambush at Osirak have been waiting for.
