Guantanamo closed? Terror trials on US soil? That's only the beginning.
A Hero Captured:
Deep in the mountains of Afghanistan, LT CMDR Jose Carmona, a Cuban American and his SEAL team are ambushed in an attempt to capture the terrorist known as The Banker.
The world believes the team members are dead. All are killed but Carmona. He is captured and placed in a cave deep in the mountain range known as Tora Bora in some of the roughest terrain on earth. Imprisoned and injured in a darkened cell below ground with two others, he leads his fellow prisoners to freedom.
A Fatal Move:
The United States President decides to begin closing Guantanamo Prison and hold terror trials on US soil. US citizens and members of the President's cabinet are against the trials. Some take justice into their own hands. Then, something goes wrong. A legal team involved in the first terror trial disappears. The demands for their release made by terrorists come at a steep price; one that even the President can't accept.
A Race for His Life:
Carmona returns to the States to discover how his team was set up in Afghanistan. He returns to his child hood home in Miami to reunite with family. He goes to recover from injuries suffered along with the pain and guilt of losing his team. But it never happens. His father is hospitalized after a vicious assault, is unconscious and not expected to live.
The search for his father's attackers leads Carmona into another ambush and a collision course with people in his own government, where the stakes could be his own life.
"John Boyd has done it again. Terror On Trial is his best, most compelling book yet."
