After taking two football seasons off, Riley Covington is attempting to
make a comeback in the league while trying to forget Khadi Faroughi, now
on security detail for a prominent senator.
But a new attack turns
both of their lives upside down yet again. During a state funeral,
terrorists overrun the National Cathedral and take senators,
congressmen, and their entourages hostage, including Khadi. This new
generation of The Cause is made up of homegrown terrorists—an inside
threat to the security of the nation. They release most of the hostages,
but Khadi and several others are kept behind as significant bargaining
chips.
The Cause pledges to behead one member of Congress each day
throughout the month of Ramadan as a punishment for their own country’s
rejection of Islam. Despite the protests of Counter-Terrorism Division
director Scott Ross, Riley races to CTD armed with a plan and a fierce
determination to rescue Khadi at all costs.

About Jason Elam & Steve Yohn
Jason Elam spent 17 years as a placekicker in the NFL before
recently retiring. He was born in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and grew
up in Atlanta, Georgia. In 1988, Jason received a full football
scholarship to the University of Hawaii, where he played for four years,
earning academic All-America and Kodak All-America honors. He graduated
in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in communications and was drafted in
the third round of the 1993 NFL draft by the Denver Broncos, where he
played for 15 years.
Steve Yohn grew up as a pastor’s kid in Fresno, California, and both of
those facts contributed significantly to his slightly warped perspective
on life. Steve graduated from Multnomah Bible College with a bachelor’s
degree in biblical studies and barely survived a stint as a youth
pastor.
