Racing from its first page to an electrifying climax, PILLARS OF FIRE captures in fiction a chilling scenario that could consume half the world in a nuclear holocaust. Tom Lawford, a deep-cover CIA operative, is on a life-and-death mission: track down the launch site of an ICBM supplied by former Nazi rocket scientists to Libya. A nuclear tick down to minutes, a besieged Israel is facing a nuclear Armageddon...

Caught up in the conflict is an extraordinary cast of characters: a brilliant but deadly Israeli general; the Mossad Chief commanding a team of international assassins; the CIA's Covert Operations Director; a top Pakistani nuclear physicist; an alluring Mossad agent; and a Libyan killer closing in on Lawford. From Georgetown to Berlin to the fiery sands of the Sahara, bestselling author Steve Shagan creates a powerful, frightening novel-the authentic story of today's most desperate global struggle.
