Thriller master and New York Times bestselling author Patrick Robinson presents a startling if all-too-real scenario that pits the United States against France and Saudi Arabia

Always on the cutting edge of global political and military events, Robinson offers his most epic stunner yet. A rogue Saudi Arabian prince, disgusted by the royal family's profligate ways, plans a coup d'etat. He surreptitiously enlists the help of the French, who appoint Le Chasseur (the Hunter) to do the dirty work. Assisting him will be the world's most wanted terrorist, HAMAS's Ravi Rashood, arch-enemy of the United States.

With the French and Muslim fanatics on the verge of controlling Saudi oil, and the world economy and oil industry nearing collapse, America must act. Admiral (Ret.) Arnold Morgan faces an unparalleled challenge, not to mention mounting international opposition, as he marshals the forces to discipline a wayward "ally" and crush the terrorist menace. Failure is not an option.

      Talk about "ripped from the headlines": bestseller Robinson's latest international political thriller (after 2004's Scimitar SL-2
      ) reads like the evening news on speed. In 2009, Saudi Arabia's Prince Nasir plans to overthrow his country's royal family—a popular target, especially since Farenheit 9/11
      —with the French government's help. In order to make the coup d'état appear an exclusively Arab job, the French hire a Moroccan, Col. Jacques Gamoudi (aka Le Chasseur or the Hunter), to lead the operation. Joining Gamoudi is a notorious Hamas terrorist (the killer of the title). Foreseeing all that Saudi oil flowing away from American gas stations, U.S. Adm. Arnold Morgan has to find a way to stop the coup without making the French hate us more than they already do. If the surfeit of military detail tends to slow the action, the main characters come across as real people caught up in a frightening scenario—one that's perhaps a bit too close to reality to make this novel completely comfortable as escapist fiction. Agent, Ed Victor (U.K.).

      Globe-trotting action-hero admiral Arnold Morgan (retired) returns in this typical Robinson potboiler. A Saudi Arabian prince is mounting a coup d'etat, aided by the French mercenary Le Chasseur (the Hunter) and Ravi Rashood, the world's most wanted terrorist. Fearing the collapse of the Saudi Arabian oil industry, not to mention the economy of the world, the Americans charge into action, and it's up to Morgan to crush the prince's rebellion. Can a showdown between Morgan and Rashood, his archnemesis, be far off? Fans of Robinson's big, meaty thrillers know what to expect: wall-to-wall military technology, dialogue that borders on turgid, and plenty of derring-do, with the future of the free world hanging, as always, in the balance. The author delivers the goods as ordered, and only a curmudgeon would dare suggest it might be nice if he tried something different every once in a while.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2005, American Library Association.)
