Shock and Awe (novel)
Shock and Awe is a technothriller novel by David Isaak.
Carla Smukowski has seen better days. A former member of a US Army special forces Amazon Brigade, her career was ended when she lashed out at Arabs celebrating 9/11, in which her brother died. Now bumming through life, never having forgiven nor forgotten, she cautiously accepts when mysterious billionaire Rex Atwater offers her the resources to lend a hand to The War on Terror.
Boyce Hammond is a FBI Agent. He has been undercover with a Right-Wing Militia Fanatic so long he is not sure where his loyalties lie. His path crosses with Carla's when Rex dragoons his group for the next stage of his plan - hijack a transport carrying fissile material to build a dirty bomb and use it against Mecca.
As they work to build the militia into something resembling a coherent squad that can carry out the operation, Carla starts to have doubts, while Rex seems to not have been entirely on the level.
- Debate and Switch
- If I Wanted You Dead...: Rex claims that the West should have used this as a rebuttal to the Arab press and their claims about deliberately targeting civilians.
