The Devil's Light

On orders from Osama Bin Laden, the brilliant Al Qaeda operative Amer Al Zaroor directs the theft of a nuclear bomb from the Pakistani military. As Al Zaroor transports it toward an unknown target, Bin Laden announces to the world that he will trigger a nuclear explosion on the tenth anniversary of September 11th, changing the face of Western civilization. Brooke Chandler, who became a CIA agent in the wake of September 11th, is sidelined in Washington because a colleague exposed his operations against Al Qaeda in Lebanon. Now Chandler thinks he knows how to locate the weapon and where Bin Laden intends to use it. Against the skepticism of the White House and his own colleagues, Chandler launches a quest to disable the bomb before tragedy strikes. His race against the clock returns him to Lebanon, where no one is quite who they seem - including the beautiful and enigmatic archaeologist he encounters at the epicenter of terrorism - and where the plans of enemies old and new depend on Chandler's death.
