Palestinian guerrillas, Israeli commandos and an American colonel fight to keep a nuclear warhead mistakenly dropped in the Jordanian desert by a U.S. Air Force nuclear bomber.

But before he can complete his work, he is taken prisoner and thrust into the conflict, and finds himself looking out for more than just the warhead.—Cynan Rees <[email protected]>
