(Tampa, FL - June 13, 2006) - As the war on terrorism escalates throughout the world, everyone in the U.S. wants two questions answered.Will al Qaida attack the U.S. again? Will the government be able to put the pieces of the intelligence puzzle together in time to
stop the attack? Come meet author Skip Allen, Capt., USAF-Retired, as he discusses his response to these questions during a booksigning
Event on June 24, 2006, 1:00 - 4:00 p.m., at the Barnes & Noble store at 213 North Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa, FL
In Out of the
Ashes, author Skip Allen weaves a fictional thriller that offers a chilling response to these questions. Almost five years have passed
since September 11, and al Qaida is plotting to attack the U.S. again. They are armed with a biological weapon of mass destruction
they call the Phoenix, a new encrypted communications network, and three American terrorists who will deliver the Phoenix. Ground
zero is the American Heartland, and seven days remain before the July 4 zero hour. The government's Phoenix Task Force races against
time to uncover al Qaida's plot. Task force agents, Matt Garret and Annie Stewart, infiltrate al Qaida's operation in Costa Rica and
risk their lives to try to stop this diabolical plot before the Phoenix can rise Out of the Ashes.
With a ready-made audience,Out of the Ashes joins the growing front (e.g., led by Joel Rosenberg's, The Last Jihad and The Last Days, and Vince Flynn's Memorial
Day) of this genre. In Out of the Ashes, the reader not only gets to realize that the al Qaida threat is very real, and chillingly
so, but also that the government will stop at nothing to thwart any attacks by al Qaida.
