Terrorists from all over the world. Sarin gas from Syrian stockpiles. Innocents gathered for a revered sporting event, all unaware of the horrific attack about to be launched.
"Sovereign Order", is an international thriller about an Iranian-sponosred WMD attack on Monaco and the 100,000 plus people in attendance at the Monaco Grand Prix.
The sublimely evil villain is Rashid al-Nassef, long thought dead but actually living under Iranian protection, After several years of chafing in his "velvet prison" he receives the go-ahead to launch what will be the most destructive and horrific terrorist attack in history.
The assault is multi-leveled in both its substance and in its actors. The "martyrs" who will execute the plan come from many places; a Bosnian youth designated by al-Nassef to set off the first in a series of assaults, the young Belgian woman whose fanaticism as a Christian leads her to seek the love of Mohammed, the tyrannical and abusive Albanian Muslim and his wife and child who will effect the diversionary explosion on the day of the race, the Scots lawyer seduced into Islam as a youth, and finally, al-Nassef himself who will unleash the final act of horror that will leave the Principality of Monaco unlivable for decades to come.
The novel features John Cann and Katherine Price, senior partners in a Washington DC law firm with strong ties to the intelligence community - as do John and Katherine in their own pasts: John in the military sphere, Katherine in civilian counter-terror. John is in all the books and Katherine Price was introduced in the third Macomber novel, "A Grave Breach" where she ended up being the hero of both dual plots in that book. As intended but also by popular demand, she and John have finally "gotten together" and in "Sovereign Order", they travel to the Monaco Grand Prix as an engagement present from a principal of one of the teams and find themselves at risk of losing everything when they face off against the horrific combined-WMD attack on the "crown jewel of world formula racing".
