PENTAGON'S HAMMER is played out during a twelve day global event
involving the United States, North Korea, India, Pakistan, the
Pacific Rim, and, on a peripheral scale, Cuba, China, and Russia.
The stage was set with 9/11 on the New York trade center, when
Islamic extremists successfully carried out the worst terrorist
attack on U.S. soil. Years later, following the outsourcing of
critical and sensitive programs by the defense department, vital
information for the NSA's most critical, and highly classified
satellite system, the ASATs (attack satellites), falls into the
hands of the adversary. The adversary, HASAN HAMMAD, principal
Jihad antagonist to the Unites States and the free world, by
manipulating critical satellites is able to puncture the U.S.
defense shield. The earliest indication to the breach is detected
by TRACY BAUER, NSA Intel strategist. The protagonist, ALEX BAUER,
long time defense analyst and design engineer with DOD and BMO
(Ballistics Missiles Office), comes across classified information
on EMP and its inherited vulnerability. Whereas EMP,
electromagnetic pulsing, is a highly sophisticated process
generated by an atomic explosion, it can also be set off through a
simple and inexpensive trigger device. What makes it even more
detrimental, this science and technology has been hidden from the
public eyes since the inception of the atomic bomb. Through vital
intelligence leaks and organizational compromises created by
current economic conditions, however, North Korea, Pakistan, Iran,
and the Jihad have gained knowledge for this once closely guarded
secret. The antagonist, manipulating the U.S. defense grid, is
setting off a chain of events culminating in a series of
confrontations. Our defense and intelligence organizations become
intricately involved in the strike, counter strike, retaliation,
and reprisal. Each chapter, within the twelve days of global events
describe character, initiative, environment, action, reaction, and
resolution with strong character support interdependent of each
other as presented through the sphere of a global theater. The
enemy, in the heart of the nation unleashes a series of assaults
through nuclear, chemical and biological means affecting the lives
of every citizen across the country. With every defense mechanism
rendered ineffective the nation is brought to its knees resulting
in an economic Armageddon effecting commerce, power, utilities,
communication, banking, finance, Wall Street, transportation,
hospital, emergency operation, law enforcement, national defense,
government and the military, not to mention the lives of millions
of U.S. citizens. What makes the novel unique is the intricate
knowledge of the writer in the Intel community, the defense system,
and the nation's nuclear strike capability. Furthermore, the story
has unique twists not tackled before.
