The Parallax Factor
The Date - September 3, 2005 A top secret intelligence communique delivered to the oval office unfolds a chilling scenario for a proposed nuclear strike against the United States. The target, though undisclosed?an all but sacred American institution?The United States Military Academy at West Point. ?Reed has imaginatively hypothesized a confrontation between the Government and a terrorist conspiracy that threatens an all but sacred U.S. Institution ?The United States Military Academy at West Point. Respectful and sensitive to the history and traditions of the ?Point? where the major part of the story takes place, Reed's ?edge of seat? telling manages to enhance the stature, glamour and romance of the Nation's oldest and most highly esteemed military institution of higher learning while at the same time demonstrating the highly-honed efficacy of government security measures to protect our homeland.?
