The Fourth War

“A masterpiece, one that sets new techno-thriller standards. . . . [A] stark tale of the war on terror.” —New York Times–bestselling author Walter J. Boyne

Along the Afghanistan border, a CIA agent meets secretly with a distraught Arab girl. She passes him a coded message before killing herself. But before the message can be deciphered, the world spins toward war: Within hours, the president of Pakistan is assassinated, and the country's nuclear warheads go missing. Al Qaeda streams into northern Pakistan. Israel puts her combat forces on hair-trigger alert.

CIA paramilitary agent Peter Zembeic is given the impossible task of finding and destroying the missing warheads. Working with his best friend, a B-two pilot, they develop a desperate plan to save the world from the threat of nuclear terror.

“Red-hot intrigue and combat action.” —New York Times–bestselling author Stephen Coonts
