Amid the Canary Islands lies the massive crater of the volcano Cumbre Vieja. Scientists theorize that one day the volcano will erupt, triggering a series of events that would lead to a tsunami wave higher than any in recorded history. This mega-tsunami, with waves of more than 150 feet in height, would ravage Europe, Africa, and ultimately the East Coast of the United States, causing immeasurable loss of life and destruction.

It is discovered that Ravi Rashood, America's nemesis, the former SAS officer who is now the head of Hamas, has hatched a diabolical plot against the West: to fire a nuclear-headed guided cruise missile, Scimitar SL-2, named for the curved sword of the Muslim warrior Saladin, into Cumbre Vieja.

United States Admiral Arnold Morgan, the retired National Security Adviser, knows something worse is to come after Rashood explodes Mount St. Helens. But stopping him won't be easy.

As the terrorists' deadline approaches, Morgan and his team must consider the unthinkable and assume the daunting task of organizing the mass relocation of major population centers along the East Coast to safer ground.

Morgan finds himself battling his greatest enemy yet, racing against time to locate Rashood, the silent, underwater marauder, and stop him before the unimaginable occurs.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Robinson's full-bodied, measured prose has a retro feel, and his narrative, studded with informative historical and political tidbits, turns every new setting into its own short story." (Publishers Weekly)

He makes each story exciting and moving right along. I wish there were more books

I love the Arnold Morgan series

I have read many other books by Patrick Robinson, and would like to hear more by this author. The Scimitar 12 was unbelievable in it?s timing of would events. The down side is that I felt shorted as this was not the unabridged version. I like the way he play?s the character against one another, and in this version some of that is missing. This is a good intro into Patrick Robinsons work, and I hope that audible would get the rest of his works , only in the unabridged version.

If someone wants to write a book with the military playing a large role, they should do the needed research.
The US Air Force does NOT fly from aircraft carriers.

A lot of inaccuracies

Good concept and solid until the last hour - buttons up a little too neatly. New VO actor also throws things off a bit, especially when you become accustomed to how certain characters sound in the previous books. Overall good, not great

Not the best of his work, but continues the story

It was a good book, but not up to Patrick Robinson’s usual. I see now why it is only available in an abridged version. I didn’t particularly care for the narrator. When you listen to George Guidall on all his other full length books, it’s just not the same. Admiral Morgan only sounds one way, and that’s not British. However it was still a good story, it just wasn’t what I expected.

Slow but Steady

Suspect the unabridged version would make the sequence of events more plausible and real.

Bring back George Guidall.

Leave it whole and Bring back George Guidall.

I loved his earlier novels, but this one streached even my conservative leanings. Ted Kennedy as a supporter for the navy, please....

there are 2 books in this series that are not available in the unabridged version and this is one. Would love to see both books released on Audidle in the unabridged versions.

For me, the shining light was the narrator. I could listen to David Mccallum narrate all day. Inflection, annunciation and cadence are perfect. I know some didn't like him and some didn't were just used to George Guidall but I throughly enjoyed listening to Mr. Mccallum!!

where is the unabridged version?

This is a fun disaster novel but the political perspective is abhorrent and simplistic—-an American Coup —-really !

Far right political nonsense

Robinson appears to be suffering from the Ludlum syndrome. He's trying to "top" his excellent earlier works by being more far fetched and imaginative. The trouble is that he has lost touch with reality. His hero swiftly and easily seizes control of the U.S. government, then in two weeks manages an evacuation of the East coast. Even if we had all of the omitted parts of this dreadfully abridged work, it's difficult to imagine that he could have made it credible. It's a shame. Robinson's first four best sellers were superb. Nothing recedes like success.

...and then a miracle happened.
