This novel is fictional but based upon factual documentation. Certain real persons, organizations and true past events are used to evolve plausible future actions and scenarios. Measures used faithfully conform to the tactics and techniques used in the professional modus operandi of global clandestine operations. The plot is based upon an actual radio interview of a senior Al Qaeda staff officer with the Al Jazeera news agency circa 2003. This interview was broadcast only once and quickly and mysteriously ceased. Only one transcript copy made its way into US agencies possession. The plot deals with the planning, preparation and execution of a coordinated multiple targets nuclear strike upon several major United States population and economic centers ranging from New York City and San Francisco to New Orleans and Charleston, SC. Real locations are melded with notional actors and organizations. Focus is upon the actions, reactions and counteractions of primarily two opposing central characters as they lead the forces of "Good" (Armageddon) against "Bad" (Jihad). "Good" leader, Franc Ylon Volpe, is a retired professional U.S. Army intelligence colonel who is openly on the staff of a military college in Charleston while also covertly the regional head of a global, extralegal counter-terrorist force. "Bad" leader is a highly complex deep cover Al Qaeda operative who was personally picked at an early age by Osama bin Laden thirty five years before the time. He has been groomed before current day and placed within American culture and commerce as a "Tier One Sleeper Agent". As the plot unfolds and action heats up these two forces are pitted against one another and, finally, the leaders reach boiling point in an unexpected conclusion.
