A former Texas businessman, Lionel Hunt, flees the United States to escape conviction. He finds the easy road to wealth selling self-distilled whiskey to Saudi royal family members. Among his business contacts, he is introduced to the Saudi Arabian Minister of Intelligence, Prince Mohammad al Rashid. After the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Hunt finds himself in an excruciating predicament: incarcerated in an Arab prison near one of the world's harshest deserts. At the same time in Afghanistan, CIA Non-official Cover (NOC), Kurt Valdez, hunts top Al Qaeda leaders. After 9-11, he is assigned to find the co-conspirators of Osama bin Laden, including members of the Saudi royal family and Pakistani intelligence service (ISI). During his quest, Valdez crosses paths with a former Russian general turned arms dealer known as 'Rhino', whom he comes to believe has sold nuclear weapons to al Qaeda. Filled with breathtaking turns of plot, Valdez finally joins forces with Prince al Rashid and Lionel Hunt to try to stop the terrorists. They intend to destroy the Saudi's prolific eastern oil facilities, the jugular and lifeblood of the world's economies. Hunt's expertise in the oil industry earns him a pardon and makes him invaluable to the joint efforts. The final mind-bending sequences will leave readers shocked and worried. Not only is the work timely and informative, it illuminates the most daunting challenges for political, intelligence, and military leaders in this era of dwindling oil supplies and Arab revolutionary movements.
