Crimson Cloud: The Sarin Attack on Pentagon City

By Wayne Joseph Gombar

Crimson Cloud: The Sarin Attack on Pentagon City, A Political Thriller by Wayne J. Gombar

In the shadow of the Pentagon, where America's power brokers gather for coffee and billion-dollar deals, an invisible storm is brewing.

The Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, the polished jewel of Washington D.C., home to generals, senators, foreign dignitaries, and defense lobbyists, is about to become ground zero for a nightmare no one saw coming.

When a team of Syrian operatives, trained, methodical, and driven by vengeance, slips undetected into one of the most secure civilian-military enclaves in the country, they bring with them a weapon of unspeakable terror: sarin gas, the same agent once used to massacre innocents in the Syrian civil war. Disguised as maintenance workers, they weaponize the building's air system, setting the stage for a silent mass assassination of America's elite.

As DHS analysts ignore warnings, defense insiders strike shady deals, and families enjoy a seemingly normal day of shopping and diplomacy, the countdown begins. From retired FBI agent Frank Dalton to rising Pentagon stars, no one realizes that Pentagon City's luxury and power will soon become its tomb.

Crimson Cloud is a haunting, high-octane thriller about the vulnerabilities of power, the blindness of bureaucracy, and the cost of war when it comes home. With chilling realism and pulse-pounding suspense, this novel asks: what happens when the next great act of terror doesn't come from outside the gates, but from within?
