- Synopsis
- After surviving the attacks on September 11, 2001, four people join the search for the terrorists responsible. Their mission: bring justice to Osama bin Laden. On the morning of September 11, 2001, Commander Dan Lenson, USN, is visiting the Pentagon. On that same morning, his wife, former Undersecretary of Defense Blair Titus, is at the World Trade Center. Meanwhile, NCIS agent Aisha Ar-Rahim is investigating a terror cell in Yemen, and former SEAL Teddy Oberg is pitching an action movie to investors in Los Angeles. Teddy, Aisha, and Dan immediately become involved in the military response to the 9/11 attacks. Dan is assigned to the Joint Special Ops team in Afghanistan. His mission: to overthrow the Taliban government. In Yemen, Aisha undertakes a dangerous undercover operation to learn Osama bin Laden's location in the Shah-i-Khot Valley in Afghanistan. Teddy, having rejoined the SEALS, is assigned to Task Force Cutlass, to hunt down and kill bin Laden and other senior members of the Taliban and al-Qaeda leadership. Meanwhile, Blair struggles with her recovery from serious injuries and has to decide which course her life will take from here. The thirteenth Dan Lenson novel, The Towers is a fascinating, accurate depiction of the events of September 11 and the American response to terror, informed by interviews and deep sources in the Navy, the SEALS, the Marines, the NCIS, and the author's own military experience. A master of fast-paced sequences and heart-pumping drama, David Poyer takes the reader into the center of the action and face-to-face with the enemy.
