In the worst intelligence failure since Pearl Harbor, Al Qaeda operatives hijack four commercial airliners and use them in a deadly, coordinated attack against the United States. On September 11, 2001, America-and the world-is forever changed. In the aftermath, the United States completely revamps its national security structure, creating brand new organizations to better protect the American homeland from aftershock attacks.

Beyond these bureaucratic changes, the organizing impulse for United States intelligence and military organizations is to hunt down the perpetrator of these heinous crimes. Never before has tracking down one individual been so important to the national psyche. When it takes almost a decade for Navy SEALs to finally eliminate Osama bin Laden at his hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan, many wonder why it took the world's greatest power ten years to find and kill their most hated enemy.

Now, Dick Couch-retired Navy seal and ex-CIA operative-posits an interesting theory. In a fast-paced, action-packed, fictionalized account of the hunt for bin Laden, Couch teases out an intriguing and completely plausible alternate history.
