Product Description
Set in the near future, Threatcon Delta begins on September 11th, the day the Pentagon's construction began, and the day it was later attacked by terrorists.
The story narrates a three-day rampage of terror that is the centerpiece of a global plot to topple the US government and secretly funnel billions of dollars into the coffers of rogue General Casper Saint and his chief accomplices. Saint, whose leadership in war made him the most famous black American military commander since Colin Powell, former head of the US Special Forces Command, and once responsible for the security of the Pentagon, has turned renegade, using his skills and knowledge not only to gain complete control over the main symbol of American military strength, but also over an array of advanced orbital, undersea and land-based weapon systems that comprise the deadliest weapons of mass destruction ever conceived.
Saint's plan is flawless, except for the existence of a single x-factor nobody could have planned on -- the decision of a little-known Pentagon defense policy strategist named Rommel Krieger to catch up on his work early one Sunday morning. When Saint's carefully laid plans begin to unravel and his occupation forces begin to take casualties, Saint learns that Krieger is more than just a petty functionary, and as the action progresses, he learns why Krieger earned the nickname "Blitz" long before.
Saint has also misjudged the resolve of America's first woman president to stand tough through the mounting crisis in which the specter of global catastrophe caused by autonomously controlled, intelligent superweapons, is a real possibility.
