Along a quiet stretch of Idaho highway, terrorists hijack a shipment of nuclear waste material. As many had feared and warned, this disaster sets into motion a series of events. Will the stolen waste be used to leverage the President into backing away from her nuclear power initiative? Or will Americas security be threatened by the action of fanatics armed with dirty bombs . . . an attack on American soil with an impact similar in scope to 911? In a twist of fate, Rowdy Yates, a rogue private detective and Sandra Steele, an ATF agent, team up to track and battle the terrorists across the desert southwest. As the clock ticks down, their lives and Americas sense of psychological security hang in the balance.
