The Fourth War — Chris Stewart

A WORST-CASE SCENARIO
The nightmare has come true: As Pakistan's government crumbles, a cryptic message from an Islamic terrorist spy is deciphered to read "Darkhorse" --the Apocalypse. And Pakistan's twenty-four nuclear warheads--each small enough to fit in the trunk of a car--are simply gone.

AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK
CIA paramilitary agent Peter Zembeic knows the problem isn't twenty-four warheads--it's one. In Boston. Or London. Or downtown Washington. Under deep cover in Afghanistan, he'll do whatever it takes to find them. But how do you find the needle...if you don't know where the haystack is?

A WORLD ON THE BRINK
With Israel on a hair trigger and the U.S. president's green light to use any and all means necessary, Zembeic and the nation's most elite pilots and high-tech soldiers must navigate a maze of tribal warlords, hostile airspace, Islamic torture experts -- even a temporarily uncooperative French president--to recover the warheads. Because the president has had it with "allies" who watch from the sidelines...and he will retaliate...
