The Jericho Sanction
Item Description
When his cover is blown and his wife is kidnapped in Jerusalem, Lt Col Peter Newman realises he may have to pay a catastrophic price for his participation in a secret government mission to uncover Iraqi nuclear weapons.
Newman has always been willing to put his life on the line for his country. As concern that Iraq may already possess nuclear weapons grows, he once again puts America first and agrees to undertake a clandestine mission to uncover the weapons. But when his cover is blown and his wife is kidnapped in Jerusalem, Newman discovers that his courage has put more than just his own life at risk.
Matters become even more complicated when Israel discovers that Iraq has nukes, and plans a pre–emptive strike on Baghdad with Jericho missiles – an event that could have unprecedented consequences. Newman is the only man who knows all of the pieces to the puzzle, and the only one experienced and brave enough to prevent full–scale nuclear war. But as time ticks away, will he be able to both save his wife and prevent Armageddon, or will he have to make a terrible choice?

Very good, if you like this style

Reviewer: N. Webb
I love the "Military Overload" in Oliver North's books. If this is not your bag, then you probably won't like his books. Over all the book is a page turning, bad guy thumping, USMC dominating feast! I love it! You get a lot on Col. North's history intertwined with the fiction, which really makes you wonder what is fact and what is fiction! There is also a ton of military jargon that the regular man (me) will draw a blank on when reading. You can always look at the index if you really want to know. The story line is actually pretty good also. Just enough "life story" to keep you interested. (I personally like the shoot 'em up parts) I was actually surprised that the book was as good as it was.
Exciting Book

I found the book to be very interesting. I was nice to read an espionage book without any unsavory language.
Surprisingly better than the first

No need to expand on the plot of the book, it's a good novel, suspenseful and interesting. I read the book in a day and a half, because I couldn't put it down.

This book was an excellent read. I read it over Christmas break and couldn't put it down. I was finding excuses to hide from the family so I could see what happened next.
