O knihe

In the dynamic novel The Final Offense, the last sequel of a planned trilogy to A Federal Offense, and A Second Offense, author Harold Edward Poole brings the international terrorist playing field to a whole new level by revealing the intense human anxieties and spells of humor entailed in dealing with the pressures of confronting death on a nonstop timetable. I began to think this might be an exercise in futility. With my advanced age and uncontrollable anxieties becoming even more acute, I didn't know if I would be able to live through another mission. I could tell that my mental and physical quickness was not what it was even a year ago. My sweet wife Julie, who was killed in the Pentagon attack by the al Qaida, didn't even bother to come around to visit my mind much any more. Perhaps it was finally time for me to quit this killing game, and I promised myself that if I lived through this mission, it would be my last. When the government intercepts Internet traffic that indicates a third attack on the nation's capitol, retired FBI Special Agent Jim Marshall is called back to service. Marshall reluctantly agrees to come back and finds himself and his close friends physically threatened by the members of an al-Qaeda cell operating out of Washington DC. Using experience gained by thirty years as a field agent, Marshall is able to discover their plans and attempts to stop them before the attacks aimed at high-ranking political officials can be completed.
