The daughter of a top U.S. hi-tech contractor had been kidnapped in Algiers - a classic terrorist act in broad daylight.

It looked like the girls father was about to give the perpetrators what they wanted: a low-yield nuclear device he had produced for the Pentagon. The Oval Office appealed to Mack Bolan to intercept the exchange and snap the trap shut on the vermin involved.

But events fast overtook even the horror of nuclear blackmail. The leader of the kidnappers, a diabolical American, had created a satanic alliance of terrorists, an international "war college" in the Sahara.

One way or another, Mack Bolan would have to kill them all.
