AIRBURST

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

1987: Arab-Israeli tensions are at their highest in years. At a secret Israeli base, a nuclear weapon is stolen by a paramilitary attack led by Islamic jihadists. Nobody knows what has happened to it until it appears over Washington, D.C. in a small, twin-engine airplane flown by a devoted American convert to the Islamic cause. Unless the United States agrees to the conditions laid down by the Islamists, they will detonate the bomb. No military action is possible--until Max Moss adapts the Moss Electronics experimental Unmanned Aerial Vehicle--a drone--to use it in a daring, last-ditch attempt to defeat the Islamists before they can detonate the bomb. For Max and the nation, the stakes have never been higher as he dons the virtual-reality helmet that will guide the "Viper" UAV to the intercept with the Islamist aircraft.
