内容简介:
Imad Akbariyeh, a Palestinian and top terrorist for Al-Qaeda, has developed a plan to circumvent western security checkups at airports and land terminals by surgically inserting liquid explosives into live volunteers, creating literal human bombs. From his hiding place in the Arabian Desert, Imad launches a series of lethal terror attacks which began in Riyadh and continues in Paris, Brussels, London and Berlin. The attack in Rome kills, among others, six Israeli military industries retirees.
Avner Herlich, a Mossad operative, is called into action and plants an agent in Imad's camp – German doctor Anna von Stroop (granddaughter of a former high-ranking Nazi official). Both Avner and Imad, each
in his own way, have fallen in love with the beautiful doctor, who has sufficient love for both, as well as for her partner Francesca.
Utilizing digital intelligence and Anna's active assistance, Avner uncovers Imad's plan to smuggle
his human bombs, disguised as orthodox Jews, into the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem's Old City, and blow it up – provoking hundreds of millions of Muslims to unite in an attack against Israel, which would in turn be forced to unleash their doomsday weapons – nuclear bombs.
Avner manages to stop the attack at the Mosque, but Imad escapes and captures doctor Verbin, Avner's fiancée, who is carrying his child. The clash between the sworn enemies is now inevitable…
The exciting and violent chases, replete with the latest military technology and intricate intelligence work, spans the entire globe, from Yemen to Europe through Chernobyl in the Ukraine, the US Sixth Fleet and Jerusalem.
The reader is shown the strategies of cooperation between the Mossad and the CIA, as well as the powerful psychological bond linking Avner, a bereaved father, and Imad – whose own father was shot by Avner at the Jabaliya refugee camp when Imad was a child and Avner was serving as a Paratrooper platoon commander.
