Autumn Fire
America’s deadliest enemy returns—and he’ll stop at nothing to carry out his catastrophic plot against the U.S.

America is under attack. Al-Qaeda mastermind Aziz Abdul Muhammad is still on the loose, leaving no trail after his massive attacks against the U.S. energy infrastructure. Once again, the dedicated special ops force—Officer Cain, Sergeant Thompson, FBI Agent Johnson, and Lieutenant Mathews—relentlessly pursue him in their covert investigation, codename AUTUMN FIRE.

Aziz and his group of loyal jihadists send shockwaves across the nation as they execute their next phase of attacks: a mass shootout and deadly explosion at a nuclear power plant. Days later, Aziz’s followers blow up U.S. military supply ships in the Indian Ocean, crippling the country’s ability to deploy forces in the Middle East in the event of war. And the jihadists don’t stop there—under Aziz’s command, they contaminate public water supplies along the East Coast with radioactive material. Time is quickly running out for the special ops to stop Aziz before he delivers his final destructive blow against the U.S. in the most shocking, unthinkable attack yet.

Culminating in an explosive operations mission overseas, Autumn Fire is a terrifyingly realistic depiction of international terrorism and the men and women who daily risk their lives to restore peace.

Read an Excerpt

Dabir’s hands were caked with dirt and sweat dripped from his forehead, but he reached for the nylon pack and drew the last item from it. The brown canvas pack was unmarked and fitted it into the dirt shelf. The top would not fit squarely, so he scraped at the dirt with his hand and then wedged it in. Another pull of the cylindrical timing fuse on this pack, and he began to shift some of the dirt he removed to make the cabinet back up against the pack, trying to camouflage it as best he could. Looking around again, he could feel time slipping away, and felt he could not tempt fate any longer. Donning the now empty black nylon pack again, he hoisted his rifle and ran back the way he came. Where were they? Amari was growing more and more nervous by the moment. He checked the luminous dial of his watch. Nearly six minutes, and they were not back yet. Suddenly, he heard pounding footsteps and raised the G3. Racing in from the east was Omar. He saw Amari in the shadow of the tank and waved, heading directly toward the hole in the fence. Omar would head to the tree line and wait, covering them against the infidels if needed. Amari glanced down to look at his watch again and heard more footsteps. Dabir rounded the tank and sped past him, saying, “It is done, brother.” A moment later, Jamil raced past, “Done, my brother.” Amari waited until they were through the fence, and headed to the tree line and he looked back toward the tanks and listened intently. No shouts, no demands to halt. Nothing. They had done it. Allah was truly with them this night. Amari ran for the fence, ducked through, and climbed the slight rise to the tree line. All four men were waiting, breathing heavily, the sheen of sweat on their brows. Omar’s pack was nowhere to be seen, and Dabir and Jamil’s were on their backs, but obviously empty. Good.

Conscious of their fatigue, Amari walked deeper into the woods, back the way they came, giving the men a chance to recover as they followed. They could not dawdle long, and after they reached the open area, where the dirt service road began again, he jogged toward down it. A few minutes later, they ascended the wooded slope and then went down the other side to the parking lot. The car was undisturbed, and the park was still and quiet. Amari reached for his radio. “Ahmar and Azrak, this is Akhdar. Do not respond. Packages delivered.”
