Synopsis

Hidden in the vastness of the great Saudi Arabian desert, a tiny camel caravan moves slowly toward its goal. They are the leaders of Al Qaeda, regrouping to strike again. One man in the caravan stands out. His strength and selfimposed discipline mark him. Searching for him in the limitless sands are American and British counterterrorism experts. If they fail to find and kill him, he will reemerge in a teeming Western city with a suitcase bomb, ready to unleash the ultimate devastation.
