The Island
America is about to face the deadliest terrorist attack on it's soil since 9/11. Iran has been planning a revenge attack for years, with three goals in mind. Bring America to its knees. Assassinate the popular U.S. President J. P. Dellenbaugh. And neutralize their most successful agent, Dewey Andreas.
The first pre-emptive attack against Dewey Andreas fails but it worries the head of the CIA enough that he sends Dewey out of town and off the grid. But as intelligence analysts work as fast as they can to unravel the chatter on terrorist networks, Muhammed el-Shakib, head of Iran's military and intelligence agency, launches a bold strike. When the President arrives in New York to address the U.N., embedded terrorist assets blow up the bridges and tunnels that connect Manhattan to the mainland. Taking control of the island with it's hidden forces, they race to the U.N. in search of Dellenbaugh and to launch an even deadlier attack that will wreak unimaginable destruction on the country itself.
While a shocked country struggles to mount a counter-attack, a hopeless, outmanned and outgunned Dewey Andreas sneaks onto the island of Manhattan to fight a seemingly impossible battle.

Ben Coes
Ben Coes grew up in West Simsbury, Connecticut, with a curiosity for both the mechanics of power and the pulse of the world beyond his hometown. That curiosity carried him to Columbia College in New York City, where he honed his storytelling, earning the Bennett Cerf Memorial Prize for Fiction. Yet Coes’ path to the page was far from linear. Early roles as a White House intern and a speechwriter for the U.S. Secretary of Energy during the Gulf War offered him an insider’s perspective on political strategy and the shadowed corners of international affairs, experiences that would later shape the tension and authenticity of his novels.
