Terror works both ways.

Aging billionaire Rex Atwater is on a mission to reshape history with a chilling act of anti-terrorist terrorism: the nuclear annihilation of Mecca. To carry out his plan, he recruits an unlikely team- embittered ex-Special Forces ace, Carla Smukowski, and a zealous para-military brigade, led covertly by weary FBI agent Boyce Hammond.

The scheme is complex. They must hijack a closely monitored nuclear waste shipment from Indonesia, build it into a bomb, deliver the device to Mecca without being stopped...and survive. Boyce is certain they won't succeed, but after being left out in the cold for far too long, any teamwork is good teamwork.

As the plan inches unexpectedly closer to reality, deadly betrayals force loyalty and duty to clash with the group's patriotic convictions. Because fighting fire with fire only guarantees one thing - you get burnt.

Smite the Waters is more than a thriller; it's a deep dive into the psyche of those driven to the brink. A compelling, character-driven odyssey, perfect for fans of intelligent, literate suspense.
