Saddam Hussein is on the move again, but this time he is armed with nuclear-tipped missiles. Purchased from a former Soviet republic, hidden beneath the Iraqi sands, Saddam's new atomic arsenal points toward Tel Aviv and Tehran. To say nothing of the additional warheads he is smuggling into New York City and Washington, D.C. The tension is pushed to the boiling point when Saddam's guns begin shooting down American planes in the Middle East. Aimed at provoking the second Gulf War, he leaves President Clinton no choice but to respond. For Navy Lieutenant Kevin "Crackers" Dalton, the conflict has become personal. Shot down over Iraq while trying to avenge the death of his commander at the hands of an Iraqi ace, he finds himself coupled with Khalela, a beautiful and mysterious Mossad agent, and the band of Kurdish rebels she leads. Together they will face death as they try to uncover Saddam's hidden nuclear facility before the United States finds itself facing a deadly Ultimatum.
