The Gathering Storm by Frank Simon
Ready to respond to any threat against America, her allies or world stability, Stony Man is a strictly off-the-books operation whose orders come straight from the Oval Office. Now it's a war situation for Stony Man, and the countdown has begun for a plot aimed at full-blown destabilization of the Middle East--and pure terror unleashed in the heart of the West. The enemy: Iraq's former ruling regime and loyal fedoyeen soldiers. Their mandate to reclaim control in Iraq is to inflict as much devastation as they can on specified Western targets and create total anarchy in the Middle East. They've got the means, money and power in high places--and to prove it, they just blew up a town in Texas. All that stands between freedom and the unthinkable is a group of die hard warriors who specialize in pulling off the impossible. (Freedom Fire - Book #1 of 2)Jeroen J.H.
