Taken by Force

About the Book

Taken hostage by terrorists in war or peacetime can be a devastating experience, as Charlie Moore learns when he visits Fort Ritchie, Maryland. Charlie is taken hostage by a group of terrorists that have just kidnapped the President of the United States. Few are aware that the wife of Congressman Mann has also been kidnapped, but not by the same people or for the same reason. Still, there could be a connection.

Soon, a Top Secret message is dispatched to Secret Service Agents, revealing a new dilemma. There are two Presidents missing: the real one and his double. If the terrorists have the real one, they may promise the life of the President in exchange for their demands. But if they have the double, they will likely kill him. While the search intensifies, Charlie Moore plans an escape with the President, whichever one he is. Meanwhile, the terrorists prepare to implement their own plan.
