No Higher Calling

by Rex Fuller

Al Qaeda and Iran smuggle nuclear weapons along drug trafficking routes to key American cities. When Tom Morgan—a former special forces operator turned prosecutor—gets too close, the terrorists bomb his house murdering his beloved wife. Recovering from his own injuries, Morgan vows revenge. The attackers advance their strategy with diversionary IEDs throughout the US. Morgan understands the only way to beat the terrorists is to out-think them. He rejoins his former Team and devises a brilliant plan of deception to find and stop the attack. The President approves Morgan’s plan but secretly works to confound it because he sees his legacy as peace with Islam.
The first nuclear device explodes in LA unleashing chaos. With deception and highly skilled interrogation, Morgan and his Team puzzle through the full horror of the plot. Never quite knowing when mushroom clouds will arise, and always on the ragged edge of exhaustion, the Team matches ingenious tactics, incredible skill, and unbounded courage against the relentless enemy.
Brutally honest, Rex Fuller’s novel shows in chilling suspense how terrorism stalks every American family here at home.

Overall a very good book! I had a little trouble following characters and storylines at the very beginning of the book but once I was able to straighten the story out in my head I truly enjoyed it. It definitely makes me wonder if this story could ever really happen!
