After Abbottabad: SEALs On The Run (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781479263592)

In exposing what Joe Biden called the most "audacious plan" in 500 years as a likely hoax, this daring novel employs three not-so-fictional premises in its treatment of the May 2011 "Osama bin Laden" Raid: * That Navy SEALs died when a helicopter exploded during the raid. * That SEALs who survived the raid died in a later helicopter explosion. * That Osama bin Laden actually died a decade before the raid occurred. These premises are based on recorded facts - on televised eyewitness interviews; on news stories published in August 2011; and on obituaries of Osama bin Laden reported in newspapers ten years previous. After Abottabad: SEALs On The Run explores the question of what really happened on the night of that daring raid by America's finest warriors, telling the story of the raid and its aftermath from the point of view of its last surviving SEAL participant, Wade Turnbull. Wade is one of 11 U. S. Navy SEALs to escape Abbottabad while 12 of his comrades are incinerated when their stealth helicopter explodes on takeoff for the return trip to their base in Afghanistan. Because Wade refuses to buy into the official story that these 12 raiders escaped with Osama bin Laden's body in a backup transport after they deliberately blew up their crippled helicopter, he is dispatched to Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, to attend the President's Victory Celebration and thence home to be pressured by colleagues and a desperately worried wife to accept the American media's version of events. When the other SEAL survivors die in a later helicopter explosion, Wade runs for his life from government operatives who will stop at nothing to keep the real story of Abbottabad buried. Wade hooks up with war correspondent Kat Rearden and together they race against deadly foes and the clock to expose the Pulitzer Prize-worthy story of the most massive political and military cover-up in American history.
