Ravi ricordò all’equipaggio l’arrivo del giorno del Giudizio, il giorno in cui le trombe degli angeli avrebbero suonato tre volte, e gli eletti di Allah avrebbero attraversato il ponte per entrare in Paradiso. Tutti i Suoi figli in quel momento a bordo della nave, costruita dall’uomo per realizzare la volontà di Allah, sarebbero certamente stati nella lista degli eletti. Il maggiore Ray Kerman è stato addestrato alla scuola più dura, quella dello Special Air Service britannico, da sempre in prima linea nella guerra al terrorismo. Esperto nell’uso di armi d’ogni tipo, nel combattimento corpo a corpo e nelle tattiche di guerriglia e infiltrazione, è un elemento prezioso per l’Occidente. Ma nasconde un segreto. Il suo vero nome è Rashood. Di origini iraniane, i suoi genitori si sono perfettamente integrati nella società inglese: il padre, un eminente uomo d’affari, ha cambiato nome per riconoscenza verso la nuova patria. Ray ha frequentato le migliori scuole britanniche, conquistato una posizione di spicco nel SAS ma, segretamente istruito dalla madre, ha coltivato la propria anima islamica. Durante un’operazione di addestramento nella striscia di Gaza, assiste alla brutalità dell’esercito israeliano e, spinto da un impulso che neppure lui sa spiegare, salva una giovane donna palestinese, Shakira, della quale s’innamora. Dato per disperso, del maggiore Kerman si perdono le tracce. Passano i mesi e, dall’analisi comparata di numerose audaci rapine portate a termine con tattiche militari, il controspionaggio occidentale comincia a sospettare che Hamas, il braccio armato più integralista e incontrollabile dell’Organizzazione per la Liberazione della Palestina, abbia un nuovo capo. Un tassello alla volta, inesorabilmente, la Guerra Santa assume un volto nuovo, terrificante. Grazie a una serie di colpi di mano, Ray e Shakira sono saliti ai vertici di Hamas e progettano un piano per mettere in ginocchio l’America con l’aiuto degli iraniani. Comincia così una lunga e snervante partita a scacchi tra i terroristi, impadronitisi del Barracuda 945, un sottomarino russo di ultima generazione capace di rendersi praticamente invisibile, e la marina statunitense. Con questo romanzo Patrick Robinson si conferma un maestro del techno-thriller militare e lancia una sfida, fatta di suspense ed emozioni, allo stesso Tom Clancy.

The enemy from within . . . Iranian-born British Commando Major Ray Kerman was a rising star in the SAS -- until he abruptly switched loyalties while on a mission in the Middle East. Fanatically determined to employ his brilliant talents and training in the destruction of those he once swore to protect, he is now General Ravi Rashood, leader of the world's most vicious terrorist organization -- and he has found his ultimate weapon: Barracuda 945. A sleek and silent Russian hunter-killer nuclear submarine that can fire land-attack guided missiles from below the ocean's surface, it is invisible to all pursuers and virtually impossible to track. Yet Admiral Arnold Morgan, the President's National Security Adviser, must somehow marshal America's forces and hunt down this 8,000-ton nightmare of modern warfare before it unleashes its fire and death . . . or the first target to fall will be California.

In this compulsive page-turner, six-time New York Times bestselling author John Weisman blows the lid off one of Washington's deepest real-world secrets. The CIA, currently incapable of performing its core mission of supplying critical and time-sensitive human-based intelligence for the global war on terror, must now outsource the work to private contractors. Drawing on real-world crises and actual CIA operations, Direct Action takes readers deep inside this new and unreported covert warfare that is being fought on a daily basis by anonymous shadow warriors all across the globe. Racing against the clock and shuttling between Washington, Paris, and the Middle East, one of those shadow warriors, former CIA case officer Tom Stafford, must slip below the radar to uncover, target, and neutralize a deadly al-Qa'ida bombmaker before the assassin can launch simultaneous multiple attacks against America and the West. And as if that weren't enough, Stafford must simultaneously open a second front and mount a clandestine war against the CIA itself, because for mysterious and seemingly inexplicable reasons the people at the very top of the Central Intelligence Agency want him to fail. The characters and operations in Direct Action are drawn from true-life CIA personnel and their real-world missions. With Direct Action, John Weisman confirms once again Joseph Wambaugh's claim that "nobody writes better about the dark and dirty world of the CIA and black ops."
