by Ronald A. Fabick

GENRE: Action/Adventure Thriller

Synopsis

Flight 182 crashes in San Diego, everyone aboard is killed, including Reza Roshtti, who is on his way to present the final plans for a top secret project to his employer, California Robotics. Giti Roshtti appears on a newscast after the doomed flight, Jaffar Hamid Harraj is smitten with the bereaved widow who lives across the globe in the United States.

When Jack Coward, an ex-marine turned private investigator, is hired to find out everything he can about this beautiful woman, Jack sets in motion circumstances that bring Giti and Jaffar together. Unfortunately for Giti, Jaffar Harraj has a deep, dark secret. Jaffar is not only a senior member of the Islamic Hamas Movement, but a psychotic killer.

Jaffar’s aim is to use Giti’s U.S. citizenship as a mechanism through which he can establish inroads into the United States, the Great Satan of the western world and land of the infidels. One of the missions of Islamic Hamas is to spread terror throughout the United States.

The United States newest lettered agency, NATA or National Anti-Terrorist Agency has some new recruits, Jack Coward and his life-long friend Don Ziegler. They team up with other members of NATA, including ex-Air Force Lieutenant Michelle Hough, to try and discover the plans of Jaffar and the Islamic Hamas, and how Giti is involved in the two.

Enjoy this peek inside:

So when the 727 started its roll to the right, Reza, who had up to this point been fast asleep was not jolted awake by the impact or by his oblivious friend, but by cries from his fellow passengers.

“Oh my God—the wing’s on fire!” one passenger shouted as the orange glow outside the jet grew more intense. The aircraft continued its roll and, as it turned its belly towards the sun, the glow inside the cabin from the flames soon rivalled, and then surpassed, the morning sun.

Captain: “What have we got here?”

First Officer: “It’s bad. We’re hit man, we are hit!”

Captain: “Tower, we’re going down, this is PSA.”

Both the captain and his first officer fought to right the stricken aircraft, but burning fuel was not the only concern for those aboard. The intense heat began to soften seals on critical hydraulic lines and pumps, making the control surfaces that would counteract the roll ineffective.

Lindbergh Tower: “Okay, we’ll call the equipment for you.” The captain barely acknowledged the promised deployment of emergency personnel; an impending sense of doom as the aircraft rocked around him told him their help would probably be useless.

Reza, Tom and their fellow passengers watched helplessly as the earth and sky exchanged places. The aircraft was now completely inverted; where sunlight had been entering the left-side windows, it was now coming through the right ones.

“Too late Tom, too late,” Reza said, more to himself than to Tom.

As the mortally-wounded jet plummeted to the earth, Reza thought of his beloved Giti, of Sina, his son—and of his unfinished work.

“Too late …” he whispered again. The words had barely escaped his lips when the plane exploded.
