HOLY WAR ISBN 091339-46-4 * Hardcover * 6 x 9 * Grace's handling of Caribbean politics, embassy rivalries and the frightening mechanics of modern revolution are timely and scary ... the conclusion will leave the reader breathless. Publishers Weekly Grace rises to new levels of action and adventure with Holy War, his newest novel. Set in the steamy streets of Santo Domingo, this non-stop adventure pits veteran CIA back-bencher Claude Lafeur against a new and terrifying threat-the combination of South American revolution theology with the fervor of the Islamic Jihad. This new threat arrives in the person of Padre Lazaro, a lapsed priest. When Padre Lazaro's small but highly-motivated band of well-financed terrorists kidnap the American ambassador to the Dominican Republic, the vast and ponderous machinery of the State Department and U.S. Army seem to be an overwhelming match for the kidnappers. However, when the failure of the mission eclipses that of the Iranian hostage rescue mission, only Lafeur stands between the terrorists and the death of the ambassador. In a plot full of twists and turns, Grace deftly takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotion-right up to the surprise ending. Not to be missed by adventure readers or by Grace's band of loyal followers.
