PLOT SUMMARY
In the sun-dappled waters of the Aegean, ex-agent Michael Vance pilots
the Odyssey II, a handmade replica of the sailcraft of the ancient hero
Ulysses. Out of nowhere, a Russian Hind gunship with Arab terrorists at
the helm fires upon the tiny ship below. The terrorists’ destination is a
tiny Aegean island where a U.S. aerospace corporation carefully guards
the Cyclops 20-megawatt laser launch facility. But the company security
force is no match for the firepower of the Arab invasion and the launch
site is quickly overrun. With helpless horror, the executives can only
watch as renegade technicians convert the launch vehicle into a
ballistic missile that can deliver their stolen thermonuclear warhead to
any city in the U.S.
Left for dead amid the smoking ruins of Odyssey II, Michael Vance washes
up on the occupied island – and becomes America’s only hope.
