Summary:
CIA operative Dewey Andreas is America's last line of defense when terrorists take over Manhattan, targeting the UN and the President himself. Iran has been planning a revenge attack on the US for years, with three goals in mind: bring America to its knees; assassinate the popular US President; and neutralize the most successful CIA agent, Dewey Andreas. The first pre-emptive attack against Dewey Andreas fails but it worries the head of the CIA enough that he sends Dewey out of town and off the grid. As intelligence analysts work as fast as they can to unravel the chatter on terrorist networks, Muhammed el-Shakib, head of Iran's military and intelligence agency, launches a bold strike. When the President arrives in New York to address the UN, embedded terrorist assets blow up the bridges and tunnels that connect Manhattan to the mainland, then race to the UN in search of the President and to launch an even deadlier attack. While a shocked country struggles to mount a counter-attack, an outmanned and outgunned Dewey Andreas sneaks onto Manhattan to fight a seemingly impossible battle--Adapted from information provided by publisher.
