Hard Facts: Terrorist Camps, the CIA, and the State of Homeland Security
Top Secret Terrorism
The clues are as mystifying as they are terrifying: Off America’s East Coast a new generation of nuclear-armed Russian subs lie in wait for devastating orders. At a clandestine base in Yemen, terrorists begin a countdown for jihad. In South America a dictator secretly tries to acquire super weapons from Russia and Iran. And suicide bombers may have managed the unthinkable—could they have smuggled WMDs into the US?
Now it’s a race against time as the CIA, FBI, and Department of Defense hunt frantically for the terrorists while trying to unravel the links behind a global conspiracy out to destroy the United States.
It will be up to two heroic men to save the nation. Agent John Casey, one of the CIA’s most lethal covert operatives in the war against terror, has been tapped for this most hazardous mission: he will assume a false identity, infiltrate Al-Qaeda’s most impenetrable strongholds, then figure out a way to stop their plan for Armageddon. Fellow CIA man Steve Graves must piece together the puzzling connections between Venezuela’s President Chavez, the Akula class subs that lurk in the Atlantic just off New England, and the terrorists’ apocalyptic scheme.
“Once again Capt. Brittingham throws harsh light on homeland security and the current threats to our nation. This terrifying story is fiction but could have been ripped from today’s headlines.”
—Ken Sewell, author of All Hands Down
“Hard Facts is a juggernaut from beginning to end, a page turner that will leave you rooting for these true American heroes—and hoping they have real-life counterparts in DC.”
—Captain Ronald W. Martin, USN (ret.)
“Brittingham has an amazing eye for detail, weaving his military knowledge with a thrilling, cutting-edge story about one of today’s hottest topics.”
—Robert McVeigh III, AWCS SS NAC, USN (ret.)
“The war on terror rages on, and Hard Facts shows us just how complex a battle it can be. Thought-provoking and captivating.”
—Art Giberson, chief petty officer, USN (ret.), author
