Fear Itself

Tommy Burk, a Vietnam veteran and general tough guy, gets pulled into the thick of a terrorist attack when he gets called in by his old commander, New York City's Police Commissioner Riley. As the American Muslim Brotherhood sets forest fires across America, three ticking bombs also imminently threaten New York, Chicago and LA --that is, until Burk proves them to be duds. This revelation embarrasses an inept, crooked federal government, led by the fumbling President Hilton, who quickly tries to frame Burk as the villain despite his heroic deeds. By the time the fiendish vice president orders a 9/11-esque attack on a Saudi skyscraper and then pays the fatal price for his actions, the government has really lost control. After repeatedly escaping capture and even death, Burk, Riley and their newfound ally, reporter Kelly Sullivan, become real heroes. Fitzpatrick's fast-paced narrative is full of sharp turns, many of which are charmingly unbelievable.--Kirkus Reviews.
