An Opaque War

In the complex, highly ambiguous war on terrorism, the task of "connecting the dots" is complicated by differences of perception and motivation brought to the process by the many participating and sometimes competing organizations. An Opaque War explores realistically, on a personal basis, the interaction of CIA, the FBI and the NYPD in the presence of a vague, but serious threat to the celebration of Fleet Week in the harbor of New York City. As a terrorist plot develops and moves toward a horrific climax, it is not clear that there are dots, much less how they are to be connected. The reader becomes involved in following the players, both friend and enemy, as their lives and events move toward a dramatic and explosive finale.
