Summary: A mediocre action book with a flawed premise
Review: The premise of this book is that Sadaam Hussein obtains atomic bombs and decides to nuke the US. OK, I can accept this premise. However, the book concentrates on Hussein's personal animosity to Bill Clinton-because Clinton has been soooooo tough on him-going so far as to waste one of his three nukes to hit Clinton's boyhood home of Hope, Arkansas. Huh? First, Clinton has gone out of his way to discontinue UN inspections of Iraq and ease sanctions. Secondly, Hot Springs, Ark, not Hope, is Bill Clinton's boyhood home. Thirdly, those of us who have passed through Hope, Ark realize that it could easily be missed if you blink-it's simply not the place for a terrorist attack when there are so many population centers around this country. If George Bush had been the target, this story would be more easily believed. Aside from that, terrorists just mosy up to the space shuttle and blow it up. There's quite good security around Cape Canaveral and clowns like those in this story would have been taken out long before they had a chance to do damage. While there are a few god action scenes in this book, it's really contrived and not all that exciting.
