| W.E.B. Griffin Unabridged CD 20 Hours
Two armed men board a 727 all but forgotten at the airfield in Angola.
Hijacking the jet, they then slit the throat of the lone crew and fly to parts
unknown. The consternation is immediate, as the CIA, FBI, and other
agencies race to find out what happened, in the process elbowing one another in
the sides a little too vigorously.
Fed up, the president of the United States turns to an outside investigator
to determine the truth, an Army intelligence officer serving as special
assistant to the secretary of homeland security. Delta Force major Carlos
Guillermo Castillo, known as Charley, is the son of a German mother and a
Tex-Mex father who was killed in the Vietnam War and awarded a Medal of Honor.
A West Point graduate, a pilot, and a veteran of Desert Storm, Castillo has a
sharp eye for the facts --and the reality behind them. Traveling
undercover, he flies to Africa, and there, helped and hindered by unexpected
allies and determined enemies, begins to untangle a story of frightening
dimensions--a story that, unless he can do something about it, will end very
very badly indeed, not only for Castillo...but for all of America. |
