Unicorn
Stung by a series of intelligence failures, the CIA has quietly recruited a special team of agents to counter the rise in unconventional threats to the security of the United States. Robert Chase was one of the first, and still the best of this new breed.
In Unicorn, Chase is pulled into a deepening international plot by Pakistan and China, to provide a nuclear device to Iran. It all starts with a planned terrorist attack on a French city by a troubled student. The common thread is the Saudi banker, Al-Farid, who seems to be the money man for a number of terrorist organizations. After providing the funds for the attack in Marseille, he finds himself in over his head when heavyweights from the religious government in Tehran make him an offer he can't refuse.
For Robert Chase, life is pretty much what he makes of it. That is until he meets Samantha, a woman of uncommon abilities and character, who will soon change his life in ways he can't even image. After living the solitary life of a protector of the unprotected for twenty years, Chase finds his match in this woman who will not take 'no' for an answer.
The final chapters of this book provide a thrilling look into the shadowy world of computer hackers. Life is not simple and linear, and this adventure isn't either. Chase and Sam become involved with two young computer whizzes whose goal is to break the world financial system. They find a way to do this. Only Chase and Samantha can stop them. But will they be able to do so in time?
