Flash point

Lieutenant Sean Woods doesn't tell anyone when Tony Vialli, his roommate, best friend, and fellow F-14 pilot, submits false leave papers and sneaks off to Israel to rendezvous with his new Israeli girlfriend. But when Vialli and the woman are assassinated in a brutal terrorist attack, Woods is shattered by the loss and now wants revenge on the man he knows is responsible--Sheikh al-Jabar, the self-appointed defender of Islam. Taking matters into his own hands, Woods secretly signs on with an elite Israeli strike group. As the confrontation escalates and tempers flare on both sides, Woods finds himself caught up in a web of international intrigue and deception that stretches from the Middle East to Washington, and finally unravels in an explosive showdown with Islamic assassins in the Iranian mountains.

  • "When an American cargo ship off the coast of Indonesia is seized by terrorists and its crew slaughtered, the sitting Congress demands revenge. The president's refusal to react aggressively leads to mounting resentment. Then an ambitious young congressional assistant, Jim Dillon, discovers a long-forgotten clause in America's Constitution that could be used to wrest power from the chief executive--inciting a devastating constitutional crisis and plunging the country into chaos. Now, a battle group steams toward a fateful confrontation in the Java Sea, commissioned by Congress and opposed by the president. Dillon finds himself in the center of a firestorm that rages from the highest court in the land to the killing fields half a world away, as the great nation prepares for war--with itself."@en
  • "Sean Woods and Tony Vialli are F-14 pilots stationed aboard the USS George Washington. During a port call in Naples, Vialli falls for a beautiful woman who lures him out of the country. Vialli submits false leave papers, swears Woods to secrecy, and flies off to see her. His lover's trip becomes a nightmare when Vialli and the woman are brutally attacked in what appears to be a terrorist action. Enraged over his friend's vicious assault and furious at the lack of American response, Woods wants his country to declare war against the attacker, but his congressman pays no attention. A group of Israeli Air- Force pilots offer Woods the chance to exact his own revenge by flying a section of F-14s with the Israelis, without the U.S. Navy's knowledge. Woods's flight turns into one of the biggest air battles since World War II. He must fight for his life, then fight to keep what he has done secret from the Navy and the rest of the world, all because of a woman whose identity and motives continue to elude him."@en
