Quickly, John Wells is called in to investigate, but before he can get far, the tip comes true. Which means that the next warning the source gives will be taken very seriously indeed. And it's a big one. <p/>A radioactive one. <p/>As the threat level jumps and the government mobilizes, Wells must figure out what's really going on. From a drug lord's mansion in Guatemala to a secret plastic surgery center in Thailand to the slums of Istanbul, Wells uses every skill he has--including his ability to go undercover in the Arab world--to chase down leads. But the enemy he faces is equally determined. And soon he may be too late to pull the United States back from the brink of war...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An intelligent thriller of the first order; an exciting, satisfying, and rewarding read." --<i>Minneapolis Star Tribune </i> <p/>"[A] volcanic shocker."--<i>Library Journal </i> <p/>"Wells is a fine character who will likely propel Berenson's thrillers to success for some time to come."--<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>As a reporter for <i>The New York Times</i>, <b>Alex Berenson </b>covered topics ranging from the occupation of Iraq to the flooding of New Orleans to the financial crimes of Bernie Madoff.
