Arcturus - a book review

In small print under the title, I read,

TERRORISTS ARE HERE

These words immediately hooked me, wondering what the author meant. Then, I found that he was referring to sleeper agents of an Iranian terrorist named Saya-dar - - -

Jack McDonald is a former Army Ranger officer who is seriously considering graduate school, when he and a friend have a chance to provide security on a luxury yacht, the Arcturus. Jack soon finds himself in the adventure of a lifetime, with Cuban pirates, buried treasure, and nuclear material, which Saya-dar is planning on using against the United States.

As the story unfolds, suicide bombers are smuggled into the country, and . . . well, I don't want to give anything away.

Jack also discovers the love of his life, Donna, while on the cruise. The story takes them from the Bahamas to Knoxville, Tennessee, where Jack, Donna, and her uncle Gordon are engaged in a mortal battle with Saya-dar's men.

This story is fiction, but as well known firearms writer and instructor Massad Ayoob reports here:

Those who patrol the borders – and those who own adjoining property – find things left behind by the border-crossers, such as Moslem prayer rugs and copies of the Koran. Since there aren’t a whole lot of Mexicans who practice the Moslem faith, this leads people of logic to the conclusion that Islamic fanatics who have declared a fatwa against the United States are crossing into our country there.

Sounds like a good read.

I thought it would be about the star Arcturus.

The book sounds interesting.

I thought Arcturus was the “once and future king” who fought to defend Christian civilization against the barbarians in the twilight hours of the Roman Empire.
