Firebase Gecko - Softcover
John Opie combines fact and fiction in Firebase Gecko...but he never forgets that he is writing a novel of excitement without hysteria and with tons of credible action. Only John Opie, author of The Medusa Papers, could have conceived of this daring story about high-stakes Middle and Far East terrorism impacting America. Cebu26, a Pakistani lashkar-e-toiba terror cell, enters America via Boston’s Logan Airport on student visas. Part of Cebu26 is a sniper on a deadly mission, target—Camp Peary. The others have a more sinister operation, target—nuclear waste. Sixty years ago, a German-born nuclear weapons spy, Dr. Fuchs, leaked Manhattan Project secrets to the Soviets. The trail leads to Pakistan’s Muridke. CIA’s Jon Gold teams with Ranger Colby on a Pave Low helix for a near-suicide mission codenamed Operation Whitesnake to extract critical information from the sniper. A frantic trans-world counter-terrorism effort takes place involving Dragon Ladies, Nighthawks, and Misty. Firebase Gecko races the reader at breakneck speed through the intrigue of global terrorism. Vigenere’s Square ciphers, Atbash, and binary codes present serious problems for the code breakers. Time is short. A nuclear waste catastrophe has arrived.
