From a security standpoint, things don't get much worse than the opening scene of Lee Dodson's Infiltration. The book's protagonist, a 67-year-old rancher named Rand (picture a cross between Tommy Lee Jones in "No Country for Old Men" and Sly Stallone in "Rambo"), is awakened in his home in the middle of the night by the subtle but unmistakable sound of a silenced gunshot.What gradually unfolds is that the infiltrators--a combined force of Mexican and Middle Eastern terrorists--have special plans for the 20 square miles of Arizona desert that includes Rand's land, and those plans are aimed at hurting America. What also comes to light is that the terrorists have used the nearby porous southern border to stage the assault and that the plot's leaders have been in the United States for years, making the connections and gaining the skills needed for the larger attack to come.Rand, whose past is shrouded in the mists of Vietnam, recognizes professionals when he sees them and, even though he can't fathom the reason, soon realizes he's up against a coordinated and highly strategic attack by a small army of well-trained killers. It is a violent, bloody, and often tense book, and, unfortunately, the particulars of its plot are plausible.
