THRILLER NOVEL ASKS: COINCIDENCE OR PROVIDENCE- Does God provide the right warrior for a time of need?

Nominated for an award by the Mid-Western Christian Book Fair in Iowa City, "Against Shadows and Winds," an inspirational thriller for the post 9/11 world, is a fast paced story of alert Americans trying to stop terrorists from taking out a helicopter filled with Cabinet-level VIPs.

(PRWEB) September 25, 2004 -- Colonel Josh Poland, on medical leave from Afghanistan, stops a man from mugging diner-owner, Melanie Cooper. Suspecting more behind the attack, the Special Forces officer, decides to dig. He uncovers odd data, nothing conclusive, but if accurate it could add up to an explosion that will kill thousands of veterans during a parade. Josh, Mel, and Detective Buck Carlson, Va.Beach PD, work against time to find proof that terrorists have smuggled in missiles.

Their efforts to stop the attack will keep you guessing until the final page.

Author N.E. Thompson lived and worked in Saudi Arabia during the late '70s and 1980s and knows the Arab mind. In retrospect, she observed the rise of the fundamental sect exporting terrorism today. She gives the reader a vivid glimpse of both good and bad Arabs while challenging her American characters on the precepts of their own Christian faith. A Writer's Digest critique states, "Thompson does a masterful job of drawing believable characters and filling their dialog with personality and verve. A skilled wordsmith, she weaves her Christian themes without artifice."
