Description
A mere hunch is all that insinuates an act of Nuclear Terrorism might be in the offing. Those who guard America’s nuclear weapons search for help in the race to stop the culprits and they find it at the airport. Capable help. This thriller is about the theft of a nuclear weapons component from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in order to offer it for sale to the highest bidder. It reveals a complex plot, allowing the reader to be the only one able to see the full story unfold. Our principal protagonist and narrator is Harry, 52 years old, a helicopter pilot based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Flying is both his passion and his mission. He lives alone; he has a dog as his sole companion. He’s a cynic. Harry drinks a touch too much. He has a few well-chosen friends. He is an able cook, waiting to demonstrate his skills, primarily to those of the female persuasion. He weighs 208 pounds, stands at six foot one. He carries his hair short-cropped; he has an eternal tan—arms and face only—and crowfeet around his eyes from staring into a thousand setting suns. He is a quiet charmer, witty, smart, observant, alert. Harry ends up embroiled in this crime on both sides of the conflict, aided by Federal agencies plus a few friends and opposed by an assortment of deplorable characters that are executing the heist.
