In a novel as immediate and gripping as tomorrow's headlines, Stephen Coonts captures a chilling nightmare sceniaro that has already devastated Colombia and sent shockwaves around the world. The war against the drug lords is exploding -- within the borders of the United States.

In the ferocious, the bloody battle to regain control of the nation's capital, Captain Jake Grafton, the hero of Stephen Coonts' bestselling Flight of the Intruder, joins a cast of vivid, compelling characters. Charged with heart-stopping suspense and striking psychological depth, Under Seige secures Stephen Coonts' reputation as one of our major contemporary novelists.
