Product Description:
Terrorists seize one of the daily trains deep below the English Channel, shutting down the Eurotunnel linking England and France since May 1995. British response to the hijacking and plans to resolve the crisis move along traditional lines. The story soon takes an unusual twist, however, as our counter-terrorist experts Nelson Bartlett (British) and Jim Grissom (American) join talents to get to the bottom of the plot. Typically foul English Channel weather adds to the political pressures from the nearby meeting of the Group of Eight. A major cover-up by the United States Air Force hides a calamity in the making. Bartlett and Grissom work diligently to unravel the mystery as it becomes clear: the terrorists are not interested in their stated demands. They are making a Final Statement!

Bobby Clark brings an insider's view to counter-terrorism measures and the immediate clear thinking, discipline, and cooperation it takes to deal with the "deliberate randomness" of terrorism. A great cover photo sets this stage, then Clark's organized chronology and style allow this tale to evolve from geographically diverse locations without confusion as to who's who. His illustration of the value of real, enduring trust and honor among his characters adds a personal dimension to a very satisfying book.

This book is an incredible read especially in these times of heightened security against terrorist threat. The plot seems at very first to be the work of an average group of thuggish criminals, but as the story unfolds, we find that the hidden motives are much more terrifying in scale and consequence than we could ever imagine.
The author shows detailed knowledge of terrorist and counter-terrorist tactics. In a world of deception and violence, the path to a safe and peaceful outcome can only be found by the clear thinking and good judgment of Grissom and Bartlett.
