Publisher Description
“The high-octane action scenes make this a must-read for military thriller fans”—from the national bestselling author of Besieged (Publishers Weekly).
Direct Fire brings the war on terror to America.
A powerful banker, gunned down in cold blood. A military family, senselessly slaughtered as they sleep. A key general, kidnapped from his farm near Fort Bragg. Atrocities like these are all too common in the Middle East. But this is the United States of America . . .
Time is running out for Jake Mahegan. Terrorist cells are gathering in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Hackers are emptying the nation’s banks. And their final act of vengeance will bring the whole world to its knees. For Mahegan, it’s time to kill. Now.
“Horrific at times, spine-tingling throughout, A. J. Tata once again proves capable of writing a firestorm that’s even scarier because it is all too real.” —Suspense Magazine

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Early in Tata's solid fourth Jake Mahegan novel (after Besieged), the ex Delta Force operative kills two gunmen who confront him late one night at a cabin on the grounds of a North Carolina golf resort, where he was supposed to meet two of his former Delta Force teammates, Patch Owens and Sean O'Malley. Patch and Sean have been taken prisoner, along with Jake's mentor, Maj. Gen. Bob Savage, as part of a terrorist plot masterminded by Chechen war orphan Zakir Lecha, who has managed to sneak into the U.S. Aided by fighters smuggled into the country among legitimate Syrian refugees, Zakir succeeds in kidnapping the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Bartholomew Bagwell, and his wife, from their Arlington, Va., home. Their daughter, Army Ranger Cassie Bagwell, works with Jake, already on the trail of his missing buddies, to take down the terrorists. The plot may follow familiar lines, but the high-octane action scenes make this a must-read for military thriller fans.)
