About the Book
New York was paralyzed by a truckers' strike,
instigated by terrorists. Grasping for supplies brought out the inhumane, where
in stores they fought for food, leaving shelves empty. In Switzerland two determined Americans
risked their lives to discover the terrorist plot. The couple fell in love,
spending a grand evening at a mountain tavern and inn. With high spirits and
locked arms, they sang along with a rollicking crowd. But after they left, the next morning an avalanche covered the
tavern and inn, killing all there. Saddened, the couple followed the trail of
the terrorists where they faced fearful intrigue. Now they were in the midst of
a dangerous game. Locked in a large church bell-tower, they came horribly close
to losing their lives. A terrorist cell planned the couple's death when the
bells clanged with intense loudness. But by ingenuity they escaped and alerted
authorities. Throughout their journey, the couple fell deeper in love. They
were tempted to stay in Switzerland, which by then was much safer than the US
(suffering through massive small pox deaths, as well as suicide bombings). Yet
when news came that the terrorists had hit the Statue of Liberty, the patriotic
couple flew back to help their beloved country -America.
