Author of "The Caine Mutiny and The Day of the Jackal now comes out with this New Novel. Colin Forbes Writes: For sheer driving power, irresisble momenum and mounting tension, this book has no equal. The characters walk off the page and surround the reader. The plot can only be described as brilliant, constructed with the precision of a Swiss chronometer mechanism, a clockwork fuse moving toward its explosive zero at terrifying speed. In brief, the book is a shock wave, I predict it will race across the world. Truly a major event. The most disputed, politically charged and militarily dangerous area in the workd is the Sinai Peninsula. It is split by the meridian of longitude designated thiry-four east. To the west of the Sinai lies a vengeful Arab state, Egypt; to the east, a small embattled nation, Israel, literally surrounded by enemies. The desolate sandy plain, punctuated by the Biblically symbolic Mount Sinai, is the main center of the action for a novel of such narrative force.
