Taming the Sword

IN THIS BLOCKBUSTER NOVEL, READERS WILL RECOIL WHEN THEY SEE THE UNITED STATES BROUGHT TO ITS KNEES...WHEN THEY SEE: DEATH GRIPPING AMERICA The threat hung over America for years, then it happens: terrorists explode an EMP nuclear weapon high over the United States. Gamma rays destroy the nation's power grids and America goes dark. Those on life support die. Airliners crash, their flight control circuits fried. Home appliances fail. As production, transportation, and communication lines collapse, friends and neighbors fight over the dwindling supply of food, water, and medicine. Deaths soar and angry Americans demand a permanent end to terrorism. A high-risk mission is readied, then former CIA Agent Taylor Ramsey is summoned, the only person the President trusts to lead a perilous voyage back centuries in time, back to the very roots of terrorism; the only person the President knows, who'll give all for one last chance to serve his country.
