A US Navy Reserve captain is mobilized to active duty to serve as
the Defense Attache at the US Embassy in Pakistan's capital city.
His primary mission is to exchange money with Afghan warlords in
the mountains along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border for information
leading to Osama bin Laden's capture. Most intelligence points to
caves in these mountains as bin Laden's likely hiding place.
However, when the captain befriends, and saves the life of, a
humble Pakistani pizza delivery man, he learns that bin Laden and
his bodyguards are ensconced in one of two safe houses in
Islamabad. After a botched raid on the wrong house by Pakistani
military forces, the captain's selfless -- and unauthorized --
heroics, aided by a lovely British administrative assistant from
the embassy, lead to bin Laden's capture. This thriller novella
follows the suspenseful story of the capture of Osama bin Laden by
an unlikely hero, Captain Alan Drake, a high school English teacher
from Tennessee.
