Item: 1012 $25.95 ISBN: 0-595-40319-0 Paperback; 6" X 9" 292 pages Movie rights available Everyone in the U.S. remains plagued by two troubling thoughts. Will al Qaida come back to invade the U.S. with another series of 9/11-like attacks? Or worse, since maybe they're among us now, and it's just a matter of time before the terrorists unleash their wave of devastating terror. In Requiem for the Phoenix, the sequel to Out of the Ashes, author Skip Allen weaves a fictional thriller that reveals some frightening possibilities. Two years have passed since the Phoenix operation—al Qaida's secret attack on the American Heartland with biological weapons of mass destruction. Al Qaida has begun to broadcast a series of strange messages, offering—with one hand—an olive branch of peace and their support to help bring an end to worldwide terrorism. In al Qaida's other hand, however, is a secret plot to launch the second phase of the Phoenix operation—their most devastating wave of terror since 9/11. In Requiem for the Phoenix, al Qaida stops at nothing to make America and the free world yield to their fanatical domination. But Phoenix Task Force agents Matt and Annie Garret go undercover with CIA agent Ryan Daniels and risk it all to stop the attacks and destroy the al Qaida organization. With a ready-made audience, Requiem for the Phoenix joins the growing front (e.g., led by Joel Rosenberg's The Last Jihad and The Last Days and Vince Flynn's Memorial Day) of this particular genre. In Requiem for the Phoenix, the reader gets to realize the frightening possibilities that threaten the free world, and may very well threaten us today.
