Sand and Fire

By Tom Young

Book Overview

From Tom Young, author of The Warriors and The Renegades , comes an explosive new novel of the war on terror. North Africa. A jihadist leader has seized a supply of sarin gas left over from the Gaddafi regime and is wreaking havoc on an escalating scale. Gunnery Sergeant A. E. Blount--a Marine and the grandson of one of the first black Marines--sets out with his strike team to kill or capture the terrorist leader. Instead, they flew into a trap. Many of the team are killed, the rest captured, and the leader threatens that he will execute one prisoner a day until U.S forces withdraw. Sophia Gold and Lieutenant Colonel Michael Parson, Blount's friends and colleagues, rush to Libya to help coordinate rescue efforts. But the ordeal has only just begun. Soon, they will all be fighting for their lives in the sand and fire of the desert.

Customer Reviews

Tom Young must be related to Vince Flynn as he writes a lot like him

This is the first book I have read by Tom Young. I bought it at a used book store while at Moosehead Lake in Maine and could not put it down until today, as I finished it. I have just ordered 5 more of his books from you. I have read all 17 books by Vince Flynn and this guy belongs in the same arena, at least I feel that way after reading only one of his books. If anyone has read Flynn, I encourage you to pick up some of Tom's books. You won't be disappointed!!!!
