An intelligent thriller inspired by the political shambles in the Middle East, NASA scientist Randy Brown is recruited by the CIA to snoop on India's missile capability. Instead, he finds himself on an urgent mission to rescue his 5 year old son from Indian terrorists. Looming in the background is the ongoing tension between Pakistan and India, both countries equipped with nuclear weapons. Amy Edwards, lovely, intelligent, but down on her luck with the men in her life fights to help Randy recover his son, and finds herself in the middle of a war. Zak Richardson, an aging black pilot and unassuming hero may be the only key to the trio's escape when twelve nuclear tipped missiles arc grimly into the air toward India. In a chilling scenario that could actually happen, Pakistan has activated "Ghauri's Sword" their nuclear defense system, and Randy, his son, Amy and Zak are right in the cross hairs. I wrote this novel in 2005 but this year (2014) I completely revised it (and added a sub title "Terror in the skies") to bring it up to date with current events in the middle east and Asia. I also "spiced up" the romance between my main characters. If you read the novel previously, I think you will enjoy this updated version. Used Book in Good Condition
