The Attack A terrorist team has just set off four explosive devices in an international airport close to New York City. The leader of the terrorists, Ahmad Khalin, survives the attack and plans to attack a second U.S. airport within the month. As Khalin makes his escape from the New York area he is involved in a shooting in Connecticut. Clint Smith, a U.S. government agent assigned to an ultra-secret agency, is at a restaurant across the street when the shooting occurs. He responds to the scene to see if he can help, but Khalin is gone. On a hunch, Teresa Deer, Smith's boss, sends Smith after Khalin. Smith's pursuit takes him to Bar Harbor, Maine; Wiesbaden, Germany; the Costa Brava, Spain; Northern Scotland; Lake of the Woods, Ontario, Canada; and finally into Saskatchewan, Canada, where the final confrontation takes place. Throughout the pursuit, a number of interesting characters add to the subplots and try to survive their involvement in the chase.

Reviews: "Sheer excitement from start to finish!!" --Bob Hicks, former federal Supervisory Special Agent "Clint Smith leads a charmed life. After surviving a close combat situation in Iraq, with nothing more than some broken ribs and bruises, he gets recruited to an above tier one shadow group that has no bounds in protecting America's interests and its people. Bob Doerr weaves an intricate fast paced tale of dogged determination as Clint chases a mass murderer across North America, to Europe and back. Can he intercept the man known as Khalin before he strikes again? You won't want to stop once you're on the hunt with him. The Attack is a gripping story well told. You won't be disappointed." --Buck Stienke, Award Winning Author and Co-Author of the Black Eagle Force series
