A nuclear trigger . . .
is missing from the strategic weapons arsenal at Lakenheath Air Force Base, England and a rumor is circulating in the CIA and OMNI communities that a Middle Eastern terrorist group has stolen the key bomb component. Fearing the worst, OMNI calls in Lance Ryder, their top investigator, to track down the rogue organization and neutralize a potential holocaust. Acting on tips and his own analytical abilities, the OMNI agent trails the evildoers across four Middle Eastern countries and the United States only to find out the nuclear bomb threat is a red herring. To his horror, Ryder discovers the real threat is tenfold more destructive than a high yield detonation . . .
Employing all his investigative skills, Ryder unearths the name of Amal Kansi, a Saudi Arabian born terrorist who turns out to be the brain behind a heinous plan that is designed to destroy the United States and cast the survivors into a world of anarchy and chaos; a world where the OLD ONE will take souls and inflict horrendous torment.
Ryder tracks Kansi to California where they engage in a high stakes battle for the souls of mankind – a battle where the loser will pay for all eternity. . .
IRONSKULL BOOKS
Chapter-1
The battered old Boeing 707 gradually lost altitude as the pilot attempted a crosswind final approach onto the main runway at Beirut Airport. The captain slipped the nose slightly into the hot, sand-filled winds until the airplane corrected onto the runway’s centerline, and then holding that position, descended until the main gear made a less than smooth contact with the asphalt. The tires announced their protest at the hard landing with a loud squeal, punctuated by a short burst of bluish-white smoke.
The giant cargo plane continued speeding down the runway as the pilot applied brakes and reverse engine thrust, slowing the winged juggernaut to a point where it could be steered off the runway and taxied over to the loading ramps next to the main terminal. After finding the numbered parking space the tower controller had assigned Mid-East Oil flight 521, the pilot applied brakes one final time, bringing the weather-beaten flying machine to a halt.
The old bird was the second 707 to roll out of the Boeing plant at Seattle, Washington some eighteen years previously. Shortly after that, United Airlines had purchased the aircraft, painted it with their colors and put it to work hauling passengers. Two years ago Mid-East Oil Inc, bought the plane, gutted it out except for a few seats then pressed it into less glamorous service - ferrying oilrig equipment.
