Drone Strike
A Joe Matthews Thriller
Description:... For the last twenty years America's drone program has provided the nation with an unparalleled advantage in the skies over every battlefield from Afghanistan and Pakistan to North Africa and Syria. But what if a foreign power managed to obtain that same capability? Not by developing their own drone, but by stealing one from the Central Intelligence Agency. And what if that country's leader, desperate to increase his influence in the Middle East, comes up with a plan to turn every country in the region against the United States? For his plan to work, Russia's president approves a daring daylight raid on a clandestine CIA drone base deep in the Jordanian desert. Led by the ruthless leader of an Alpha Group special forces team, the Russian assaulters execute everyone on the base before making off with an MQ-9 Reaper and its compliment of Hellfire missiles.Tensions are at the breaking point as scores of innocent civilians are killed in seemingly random drone strikes while worshipping at mosques across the Middle East. With all evidence pointing toward Washington, the attacks spark protests and demonstrations in front of U.S. embassies and consulates with a ferocity that has not been seen since the Arab Spring.CIA operative Joe Matthews and his team of paramilitary operations officers are tasked with an impossible mission. They must battle the Russians from Alpha Group as they fight to protect an NSA encryption specialist and attempt the daring rescue of a Syrian asset who was captured while searching for the missing drone. Time is running out as Matthews and his team attempt to locate the rogue drone and put a stop to the attacks before an emergency meeting of the Arab League votes to expel all American personnel from the Middle East.
