A remarkable military thriller from one of the most widely acclaimed new suspense writers in years Fans of Clancy and Coonts need to add Young to their must-read list ( Booklist ). North Africa. A jihadist leader has seized a supply of sarin gas and is wreaking havoc: a nightclub in Sicily, a packed street in Gibraltar. Acting on information, Marine gunnery sergeant A. E. Blount, at six-foot-eight a formidable warrior, the grandson of one of the first black Marines, sets out with his strike force to kill or capture the terrorist. But it is a trap. Several Marines are killed, some are captured, and the jihadist promises that unless forces withdraw, he will execute one prisoner a day. Immediately, Blount s friends and colleagues Sophia Gold, now with the U.N., and Lieutenant Colonel Michael Parson, working for the United States Africa Command, rush to Libya to help coordinate rescue efforts. The ordeal, however, has only begun. Soon they will all be fighting for their lives in the sand and fire of the desert."

Tom Young must be related to Vince Flynn as he writes a lot like him
Published by dave a , 4 years ago
This is the first book I have read by Tom Young. I bought it at a used book store while at Moosehead Lake in Maine and could not put it down until today, as I finished it. I have just ordered 5 more of his books from you. I have read all 17 books by Vince Flynn and this guy belongs in the same arena, at least I feel that way after reading only one of his books. If anyone has read Flynn, I encourage you to pick up some of Tom's books. You won't be disappointed!!!!
