Niloa Stephenson, an adventurous yacht racer from Hawaii, stumbles across a terrorist attack on a remote U.S. research laboratory. Her discovery sets her on a dangerous and remarkable journey from the paradise islands of the Pacific to the pirate- and shark-infested waters of Southeast Asia, to the Abu Sayyaf island haven in the Sulu Sea, to the Hamas hideouts in rural Lebanon, to the streets of Chicago. In a race against al Qaeda terrorists, Niloa must help Police Superintendent Dan Ryan intercept the terrorists and the biological weapons they planted before they detonate. The final assault illuminates America’s vulnerabilities to biological attack but celebrates the heroism of ordinary people who step into history with the graces of unselfish courage. Into the Winds of Fear is an historically based fiction account that will leave you with a new appreciation for the incredible task of those who give themselves to protect our freedoms.
