Publisher's Synopsis
The Swap When U.S. forces capture Hannbali the terrorist, Abdul Haq, his second-in-command, conceives a plan to free his leader-a hostage exchange. Haq spends the next six months planning the attack. They choose their ground carefully. They prepare for the anticipated police response. They gather their strength. On a lazy September Saturday, thirty armed terrorists take down the East Towne Mall. Everything goes according to plan: they corral the hostages, thwart the locals, and confound the feds. Only one man strays from the carefully orchestrated script. Armed with nothing more than his wits, Ike Kline, a shot up Marine from Fallujah, runs toward the gunfire. The East Towne Mall siege has started, and the only hope anyone has lies in Ike's hands...
