THE FIFTH I HORSEMAN

LARRY COLLINS DOMINIQUE LAPIERRE

The President of the United States receives an ultimatum. Within hours, the world is convulsed in crisis, cover-up and panic.

America will surrender to impossible demands ... or a major city will be obliterated. There is no time for a warning.

On the streets of a city preparing for Christmas, every agonizing minute now brings millions of unsuspecting Americans closer to annihilation.

63 hours of grueling suspense . . . The countdown to apocalypse has begun.

"Grabs the reader and does not let go."
