Primary Directive
Don Pendleton
Direct action is the President's best option when America stands in the crosshairs of terrorism. The covert counterinsurgent team known as Stony Man gets the green light to strike hard and fast–no red tape, no political stalemates, just results.When the world goes to hell, the warriors of Stony Man take the heat to ensure the enemy gets no second chances. Stony Man intelligence has picked up chatter about something bigger than any terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Now it's zero hour and the agency has dispatched operatives on two fronts: Panama and the Mexican border, where al Qaeda is using drug pipelines willing to accommodate cash payers to funnel terrorists into the country. It's clear the operation has been in the planning stages for a long time, with moles deep inside the U.S. security net. Now the only questions remaining are when and where the attack will take place. And how Stony Man is going to stop it…
THE NUCLEAR STAKES GOT HIGHER
“So what you’re saying is that if al Qaeda manages to get personnel inside of this place…” Brognola’s voice trailed off.
“Yes, we’re all thinking the same thing. And it explains why Bari’s tactical planning called for the smuggling of so many terrorist operatives into the country.”
“It’s unthinkable,” Brognola said. “A place like that could be a terrorist’s playground if they know where to look.”
“And they do,” Price said. “That’s why they were monitoring all the sites, particularly the I-25 corridor. They weren’t interested in attacking those shipments. They wanted to know when would be the busiest times, when the eyes of most personnel would be focused elsewhere.”
“All right,” the big Fed stated. “Let’s get hopping on this. Let’s get both teams on the horn immediately and apprise them of the situation.”
“Right,” Kurtzman replied, reaching for a phone that connected directly to their secure satellite uplink.
“And when you’re done,” Brognola continued, “get me the President.”
