- Synopsis
- From the bestselling author of Tomahawk and China Sea, a heart-stopping thriller of Marine Corps special operations-the men whose bravery and sacrifice brought victory in the desert. Six days before America invades Iraq, Saddam Hussein issues an ultimatum: if coalition forces cross the border, he will turn Israel into "a crematorium." Belatedly realizing how far Saddam's weapons program has progressed, U.S. intelligence agencies suspect he's concealing either a crude nuclear device or missiles loaded with lethal chemical or biologic agents. A quickly assembled marine reconnaissance team gets the assignment for Operation signal Mirror. In the four days left before the ground war begins, Gunnery Sergeant Marcus Gault and his marine-army-navy team must land in Iraq, locate Saddam's ultimate deterrent, and target it for destruction with U.S. cruise missiles. After a terrifying helicopter insertion, the team moves like shadows across a mobilized and blacked-out Iraq-- toward Baghdad, and a rendezvous with a mysterious resistance member called "Shamir." Captured and tortured by Iraqi intelligence en route, Lieutenant Commander Dan Lenson, the targeting officer, must decide whether the secret he carries is worth the life of his teammates-- and his own. But even as the remnants of the team reach their objective, they discover that bombing it would unleash a horror more terrifying than they ever imagined. Now what's left of Urban Assault Team 12-four U.S. Marines, a U.S. Army biological warfare scientist, a British commando, and a Navy Tomahawk officer-- will have to deal with the situation themselves.
