The Red Phone

By William Clark

"Mr. President, we will give you forty-eight hours in which to establish the truth of our nuclear device... I will call you again in forty-eight hours to outline all of our demands." It's a race against time in William D. Clark's adrenaline-pumping novel, The Red Phone . This political thriller finds the president of the United States making life-or-death decisions in the face of threatened annihilation. When the president picks up the phone, he never expects to hear from the leader of a worldwide Islamic terrorist group who announces that they have planted a nuclear bomb in the center of New York City. When the terrorists give the president only thirty days to meet their demands before the bomb detonates, the government puts the CIA in charge of cracking the sophisticated code embedded in the bomb in order to neutralize the threat. But when the CIA fails, the White House decides to hire Timothy McIntosh, a world-renowned code breaker whose genius is legendary. Through it all, the president must wrestle with a decision that has no good answer: tell the public of the potential threat and risk mass panic, or hope that McIntosh is really as good as they say...
