fighting terrorism and stupidity.

The story starts off when members of The Code Name Team are invited by a billionaire computer maker to attend a function as a reward for doing him a favor. Just so happens at this time multiple terrorist attacks are under way across America. The Code Name Team are in the middle of an attack to extort money from the rich people at the party. The Code Name Team defuses the situation. Then Senator Harriet Clayton (former 2nd lady) thinks she can negotiate with the terrorist of the Islamic Jihad Muhahidins' leader Abdul Kadan Kazar. She foolishly goes to their home turf of Sitarkistan and she is kidnapped. The Goverment won't negotiate and can't be seen to get involved for political reasons and thus asks for help from the Code Name Team. While the rescue mission is going on political games are played when someone leaks info about the mission that could jeopardize the mission. The Code name Team continues on and you'll have to read the book to find out how it goes.
