| The contemporary novels in this series bring alive all of the emotions that erupt during times of terrorism and takeovers. The books are disconcerting and disturbing as they force readers to contemplate the consequences of events, whether actual or threatened. Once set in motion, the incidents in each story irrevocably alter the lives of the characters and illustrate the strength and fortitude of the human spirit. | |
