Killer Hunter

In this thriller by the New York Times–bestselling author of Scimitar SL-2, American military forces are racing to prevent a coup in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, the world’s leading oil producer, is on the brink of revolution. Within the opulent palaces and lavish mansions, the royal family is draining the country’s finances while the kingdom is in turmoil.

Appalled by his family’s lavish lifestyle, Crown Prince Nasir vows to end the reckless and destructive rule. He orchestrates a top-secret plan to destroy the Saudi oil industry and bankrupt the monarchy. In order to accomplish this, he seeks the assistance of a naval power in exchange for a portion of the wealth.

Nasir turns to France, whose lethal Hunter Killer submarines are capable of inflicting devastating damage on the massive oil installations in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf. The goal is to shift the power structure of the world’s oil giant.

Colonel Jacques Gamoudi, known as “Le Chasseur” (The Hunter), leads the ferocious battle for the desert kingdom. As global oil markets plunge into chaos, United States Admiral Arnold Morgan and Lieutenant Commander Jimmy Ramshawe are summoned to the White House. They learn that Gamoudi has been joined by Morgan’s archenemy, Hamas General Ravi Rashood, in the battle for the capital city of Riyadh.

Now, Le Chasseur becomes the target of both French and American Special Forces. One group attempts to assassinate and silence him forever, while the other is desperate to capture him alive and force a public confession of France’s subversive actions.
