A story ripped from today's headlines, NASA scientist Randy Brown must rescue his 5-year-old son from terrorists in central India. Looming in the background is the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan, both countries recently equipped with nuclear weapons. Amy Edwards, lovely, intelligent, but down on her luck with the men in her life fights to help Randy recover his son, and finds her self in the middle of a war.
Zak Richardson, an aging black pilot and unassuming hero may be the only key to the trio's escape when twelve nuclear tipped missiles arc grimly into the air toward India. Pakistan has activated "Ghauri's Sword," their nuclear missile defense system, and Randy, his son, Amy and Zak are right in the crosshairs.
