Tricklock

An air force pararescueman and his son are on the run in William F. Sine's gripping debut novel, Tricklock.

When Master Sergeant Jake Tricklock takes his adolescent son, Simon, on a wilderness camping trip, he has no idea that his heroic actions in the field will leave them fighting for their lives.

But they must do just that when Khaled Ayoob, a rising al-Qaeda star, arrives with his team of killers to assassinate both Jake and Simon. Khaled hopes that by murdering them, he will ingratiate himself with a Taliban leader whose oldest son was killed by Jake during an attempted ambush in Afghanistan. This Taliban leader can then help Khaled carry out his ultimate mission: to launch a massive attack against American forces in Afghanistan-a spectacular exclamation point to Operation Powerful Vendetta

that will forever cement his place as a terrorist mastermind.

As the US sleeper cell is activated, Jake tries to bond with his son, who's more of a geek than a jock, in the Pecos Wilderness. It's up to the father-and-son duo to put aside their animosity and utilize their respective talents in an adrenaline-pumping test of cleverness and survival.
