Fire of the Prophet

In the world of espionage and terrorism, nothing is ever quite what you expect.

It’s always worse.

Beck Casey, the college-professor-cum-spy protagonist of the bestselling Final Epidemic, returns— now, to confront the very real nightmare that that haunts every national-security expert today: nuclear terrorism in the American homeland.

Joining him in Fire Of The Prophet is a cast of faces both new and familiar:

• Jeffrey Connor, a rising star at the FBI’s Counter-Terror Division; a natural leader despite his youth, he's tasked to lead a desperate hunt for an elusive "blue-eyed terrorist."

• Katie Casey, Beck’s daughter and an ambitious D.C. lawyer; she is fiercely loyal, romantically —and unexpectedly— linked with Connor... and trapped both in a doomed city and in a hackles-raising relationship between father and lover.

• Fatíma Huntsman, the daughter of a Palestinian activist and an American woman, now radicalized as a terrorist and armed with a nuclear device in a mission against her fellow American citizens.

• Dennis Littrell, a self-described "overly seasoned" veteran news journalist, looking for professional redemption through one last story— a story that might save his nation and the world from a devastating global conflict... or could plunge it irrevocably into one.

In suspense-filled progression, Fire Of The Prophet builds from an opening set along the U.S.-Mexican border through the battlefields of the Middle East, and ultimately takes the reader to a looming Armageddon... in the capital of the United States.
