Idgie Says:This book looks very interesting for readers who enjoy the political terrorist type novel. From Jack's biography, I would have to believe that the author knows what he's talking about and that some of the actions in this book might be close enough to real to be very scary.
Perhaps there is a little romance in there too!

NEW POLITICAL-THRILLER FROM THE
PRIZE-WINNING FOREIGN NEWS CORRESPONDENT
High
above the mountains surrounding the beautiful Swat Valley in Pakistan a
Global Predator drone circles, waiting to unleash its Hellfire
missiles. In GLOBAL PREDATOR the
National Security Agency pursues the trail of Osama Bin Laden’s deputy
Ayman al-Zawahiri. When a recording reveals new clues about
al-Zawahiri’s plans, the NSA’s hunt for the international criminal
escalates. A special intelligence team, led by Faiza Azhad an agent on a
personal vendetta, plots to catch him at a meeting of high-ranking al
Qaeda leaders.
Meanwhile,
the local Taliban have been stepping up their attacks on anyone who
dares to educate women. The situation is growing desperate; foreign aid
organizations have closed their doors to the Pakistanis. All except
English aid worker Sally Hodges. Despite the constant threat of the
Taliban, Sally remains in Pakistan determined to build schools to help
young women achieve an education. All she lacks is capital, which is why
she’s agreed to a gift from her old flame Wilkins—a man hiding his own
dark reason for being in Pakistan. When Sally is taken hostage at her
school, Wilkins has an opportunity to redeem himself—if only he can
escape from his own Taliban captors.
As Faiza continues to hunt al-Zawahiri, the clock is counting down to the terrorist rocket attack. Can the Taliban be stopped? GLOBAL PREDATOR is an adrenaline-fueled race through the mountains of Pakistan to a shattering conclusion.
