    About this ebook

    What would we do if a nuclear weapon was detonated in Washington, and the US government suddenly disappeared? What would we do if a terrorist organization announced that it had concealed nuclear weapons in ever major western city and then demanded that the entire planet embrace its twisted brand of Muslin fundamentalism?

    In Critcal Mass, nuclear interdiction expert James Deutsh and his tormented Muslim wife, Nabila, struggle to stop an impending nuclear attack on an American city. Along the way, they delve deep into the hidden world of nuclear terrorism and the experts who strive to contain it, and get a compelling look at the titanic battle within Islam over its own future--fundamentalist and rejecting, or compassionate and life-embracing?

    Like Whitley Strieber's classics Warday and The Coming Global Superstorm, Critical Mass is torn straight from the dark pages of a very dangerous and very possible future.

      The best of the McGarvey books so far, but still not in that "elite" category for me. This time, the biggest problem (which plagues way too many thrillers) is the coincidence that is essential to tying the two parts of the story together. On the other hand, I enjoyed the less-than-perfect villain and the introduction of McGarvey's daughter into what will, I presume, be a recurring role in the books. I also particularly enjoy that Hagberg doesn't forget about prior episodes in McGarvey's life and how those episodes continue to weigh upon him or effect his actions and views.
