DESERT SHIELD Action Packed Technothriller (1/3)

On 10 April 1990 Randy Lapeer, a USAF Captain lands his U-2 reconnaissance aircraft on Beale Air Force Base. Unfortunately for his career plans, Randy flipped an 'off limits' switch to the on position in the air over hostile territory. Lapeer points to flamed out gauges on his panel as proof the Iraqi's used a beam weapon against his ship. Think tank nerds in Washington think otherwise. So now, Captain Lapeer needs a new job.

The weeks before the outbreak of the First War in the Gulf find Stanley Craypool, Electrical Engineer at the Grand Corporation, under threat from the Mukhabarat. Stanley has taken up spying against the Iraqi embassy. The reason for this effort, his research into the writings of an Iraqi Physics Professor. Leads him to believe the Iraqi's have a secret weapon. An ultra high intensity laser capable of knocking airplanes and attack helicopters out of the sky.

With that, the men are off to war. Even though Stanley stays behind in Washington, he is just as much in harms way as Randy and the men who go off to fight- 'Um M' aarak', the Mother of All Battles. Keywords: Action Packed, Technothriller, Military, espionage, Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Gulf War
