| Publisher Description: Act of War takes readers deep into the new world of intelligence-focused warfare, and introduces a new hero: thirty-two-year-old army engineer Jason Richter, designer of a whole array of futuristic infantry weapons and devices to hunt down a new breed of enemy. His unlikely partner is FBI Special Agent Kelsey Cornell, a no-nonsense intelligence officer who is caught between two brutal worlds: the terrorists who kill without remorse and Richter's high-tech military hunter-killers who will stop at nothing to destroy them. As the head of a top-secret military unit, code-named Task Force TALON, Richter must lead his group against a cabal of international terrorists--backed by a powerful consortium--who are determined to destabilize the global economy. |
