Overview
Osama bin Laden dead? With no body, no photos, and only alleged genetic samples as proof, half the world believes bin Laden's well-publicized death was a hoax. On May 1, 2011, did Navy SEAL Team Six just miss the al Qaeda leader in his Abbottabad compound? Or, warned by Pakistan's ISI, did bin Laden escape into the high Hindu Kush where he continued to execute attacks against the U.S. and its allies?
Description
Osama bin Laden dead? With no body, no photos, and only alleged genetic samples as proof, half the world believes bin Laden's well-publicized death was a hoax. On May 1, 2011, did Navy SEAL Team Six just miss the al Qaeda leader in his Abbottabad compound? Or, warned by Pakistan's ISI, did bin Laden escape into the high Hindu Kush where he continued to execute attacks against the U.S. and its allies? Told by Scout Sniper Jack Hull, HIGH VALUE TARGET is the real story of the death of Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda's horrific revenge on the U.S. mainland. Bin Laden's fiercest disciple is in the U.S. on a mission to unleash bio-terror upon major U.S. cities. Hearing that Osama bin Laden has been killed, KGB-trained Yuri Rostislov, uses al Qaeda's secret network in the United States to hunt down his hero's killer, whose identity has been leaked to the press. Jack Hull, on leave from Afghanistan in Los Angeles, fighting exhaustion and hallucinations, knows he is being tracked. The two killers meet in a final, violent confrontation.
