The island : a thriller

Coes, Ben. (Author).

America is about to face the deadliest terrorist attack ever on its own soil. No one sees it coming, no one has prepared for it, and no one can stop it. After years of planning, Iran is ready to launch the operation code named The Island - an unprecedented attack on New York City. Hundreds upon hundreds of sleeper agents have been seamlessly woven into the social fabric of the city over the course of years. Now this undetected army is quietly waiting for the signal to attack. When popular U.S. President J. P. Dellenbaugh is about to fly to New York City to address the United Nations, the decision is made and The Island is set in motion. The goals of the attack are simple: isolate Manhattan, sow chaos and death in the streets to hamstring all aspects of law enforcement, and while the city and country are distracted, execute the final twisted aspect of their plan, one that will wreak unimaginable destruction on America for decades to come. Zakaria Mansour, who will lead the assault himself, has meticulously plotted out every aspect of the attack, and accounted for every contingency. His plan unfolds like clockwork except for one small hitch: Dew Andreas. Dewey Andreas is a Tier One operative and the deadliest enemy of Iran. As the attack unfolds, and layer after layer of security is breached, it falls to Dewey Andreas to successfully get onto the island of Manhattan. But can even Dewey fight off an army of terrorists in time to save the country he loves?

Summary

The Island : A Thriller


CIA operative Dewey Andreas is America's last line of defense when terrorists take over Manhattan, targeting the U.N. and the President himself in The Island , the latest in this New York Times bestselling series by Ben Coes. America is about to face the deadliest terrorist attack on it's soil since 9/11. Iran has been planning a revenge attack for years, with three goals in mind. Bring America to its knees. Assassinate the popular U.S. President J. P. Dellenbaugh. And neutralize their most successful agent, Dewey Andreas. The first pre-emptive attack against Dewey Andreas fails but it worries the head of the CIA enough that he sends Dewey out of town and off the grid. But as intelligence analysts work as fast as they can to unravel the chatter on terrorist networks, Muhammed el-Shakib, head of Iran's military and intelligence agency, launches a bold strike. When the President arrives in New York to address the U.N., embedded terrorist assets blow up the bridges and tunnels that connect Manhattan to the mainland. Taking control of the island with it's hidden forces, they race to the U.N. in search of Dellenbaugh and to launch an even deadlier attack that will wreak unimaginable destruction on the country itself. While a shocked country struggles to mount a counter-attack, a hopeless, outmanned and outgunned Dewey Andreas sneaks onto the island of Manhattan to fight a seemingly impossible battle.
