Islamic and Christian fundamentalists unleash a well-coordinated series of attacks all across the American heartland. Stolen radioactive material, a high-level spy, a mysterious break into top-secret data-encryption technology, twisting plots and spiraling conspiracies are all linked with fast-paced, cinematic crosscutting. In this thriller, FBI agent Jeremy Waller returns, as does tough-as-nails Elizabeth Beechum, now vice president, and the enigmatic billionaire Jordan Mitchell.

Christopher Whitcomb is the author of the novel Black and Cold Zero, a memoir of his 15-year tenure in the FBI. A recipient of the FBI’s Medal of Bravery for exceptional courage in the line of duty, he left the FBI in 2002 to become a novelist.
Maybe we've become easier to scare since 9/11, but Whitcomb leaves nothing to chance in this fully loaded follow-up to Black (2004). A blizzard is crippling the nation's capital while an untried new president is arranging his tchotchkes in the Oval Office, and an unlikely fellowship of Islamic and Christian fundamentalists unleashes a well-coordinated series of attacks all across the American heartland. Stir in stolen radioactive material, a high-level sleeper spy, a mysterious invasion into top-secret data-encryption technology, detailed weapons specifications, an alphabet soup of government TLAs (three letter agencies), twisting plots and spiraling conspiracies, a wild-card agent called G.I. Jane, and a one-eyed albino, all linked with fast-paced, cinematic crosscutting, and you've got more than enough thriller to keep fans of David Hagberg, Brian Haig, Vince Flynn, or Andy McNab happy. FBI agent Jeremy Waller returns, as does tough-as-nails Elizabeth Beechum, now vice president, and the enigmatic billionaire Jordan Mitchell, who still seems like something out of James Bond. Over the top? Only if you stop to think about it, and who wants to do that? Pass the sunscreen. David Wright
