READER’S GUIDE

Three attacks as cover for a dirty bomb in Washington

Operation Dragon Fire by Stephen Francis Montagna is a counterterrorism military thriller. A series of attacks conceals a far more dangerous objective.

Operation Dragon Fire is a counterterrorism military thriller. An Iraqi man let into America because he helped American troops in Iraq organizes a group of young men and plans four attacks: first the New York subway system, with Kennedy International Airport struck at the same time, and then, in Washington, a baseball game.

Those three attacks are cover. The real objective is a dirty nuclear weapon set off between the White House and the Capitol, and the specialized Dragon Fire troops are called on again to stop it at all costs—the same unit that goes into the Libyan desert in Bio-Level Three and to the Canary Islands in Operation Dragon Claw. The editorial review published with the novel recommends it to fans of Tom Clancy-style fiction.
