The Jericho Gambit “Terrorism Strikes Home”

Lieutenant Colonel Matt Gannon is facing the toughest challenges of his life.

An activated terrorist sleeper cell is enacting a chilling plot—known only as The Jericho Operation—in their jihad against Western culture, the Israeli State, and the United States. A shadow group of Islamic fundamentalists, grounded in xenophobic hatred of the U.S., rules the Islamic Conference Organization, the ICO. Salal, a resourceful, ambitious, radical Arab agent, convinces the ICO that an attack will send the necessary political and military signals to the American people. The members of this multinational Arab terrorist group each have different personal backgrounds and motives behind their actions—but they have one thing in common: A desire to achieve their end goal, even if the means involve grievous destruction and widespread panic. Salal and his lieutenant, Machmued, lead the fight to send a clear message to the US: Abandon Israel and get out of the Middle East, or face massive consequences on American soil.

The United States government discovered Jericho’s existence, and assembled a crew of the crème de la crème; a company of the most adept military minds with their own counter-plan: Gambit. Matt, along with General Rufus Brandt and their team of expert personnel, must detect, determine, and stop the series of events which could devastate the earth itself.

What Matt couldn’t predict is the reappearance of Megan, a strong, witty, British woman, and his lost love. In the past, he pushed her away, fearing conflict between his relationship with her and his duties to his country. Now he must fight for his nation… and for her.

The Jericho Gambit is a watershed of different standards, of vastly different lifestyles, of religious intolerance and political realities, and of cultural and moral values clashing in an irreconcilable encounter.
