America thought it was safe from the dreadful plague of terrorism scouring the rest of the world. Somehow, the cruel violence could never pass our borders. Somehow, the oceans, or God, would spare us.
But jets do not stop for oceans, and the northern and southern borders of the United States are wide open. And while there may be some small effort at security on the East or West coasts, in the heartland there is none. Americans doesn't like security measures.
Americans are going to like Hakim Arif even less. Hakim Arif, leader of Fat'ah, a militant Islamic terrorist organization, knows how vulnerable the United States really is. And he intends to demonstrate that to the world. Fat'ah will bring war on innocents home to the American heartland, in a way no one will ever forget.

Book Description Small octavo, pictorial wrappers. First mass market edition. Geopolitical thriller set in the near future about the activities of Middle Eastern international terrorists. Ing's "first novel, SOFT TARGETS (1979), interestingly copes with terrorism in a near future setting, though a besetting weakness for melodrama diverts attention from the serious points he makes about the fatal precariousness of societies in the advanced Western World." - SFE (online). "A near future thriller in which a media campaign is waged against international terrorists -- who, it is believed, may be defeated by ridicule . an interesting attempt to deal with a major modern problem." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 333. Reginald 26286. Top edge of pages lightly spotted, a bright, nearly fine, unread copy. (#156789). Seller Inventory # 156789
