Dark Rain - Duthie, Dana

. .

Résumé :
Iran has planted families in American society to live American lives until their call came to spread death and destruction. In one day four devastating attacks on U.S. military targets kills hundreds of Americans. The Operations Director of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is pulling the strings. He threatens further daily attacks if the U.S. doesn't pull completely out of the Mideast and if Israel doesn't cease to exist. One of the mole pilots steals his F-16 and bomb off of nuclear alert at a U.S. base in Germany and flies it to Libya with the intent to follow it up with a nuclear attack on Tel Aviv. The U.S. President assembles a team of special operators to thwart further attacks on American soil, and launch a large scale attack, succeeding in destroying the Libyan base and recovering the fighter and its bomb. The main perpetrator is eliminated in Iran. The world is again safe. For now.
