Aisha al-Rashid, a moderate descendant of Arabian royalty and the sister of one of the Union Station bombers, serves as a thoughtful counterpoint, as her path exposes her to the Americans' plot.
"The Target persuasively captures the rarely-presented perspective of the war veteran who has managed the sometimes overwhelming transition from the 'extreme highs and nearly bottomless lows' of combat to the routine of a normal life. The choices that he and his friends make are chillingly possible in today's world. Bowen's characters have much to say."
Neil B. Crist- recipient of the USAF Academy Jabara Award for Airmanship, the Silver Star, three Distinguished Flying Crosses, two Bronze Stars, and 22 Air Medals.
About the Author
Bill Bowen holds degrees in foreign affairs from the United States Air Force Academy and Georgetown University. He has served in military intelligence and in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs ... at the intersection of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the President's National Security Advisor.
The Target reflects Bowen's concern about the combination of terrorism and nuclear weapons and the missing element of deterrence in that equation. It is his hope that the leaders of Iran, Pakistan, and other countries will understand the danger of uncontrolled proliferation.
Bowen lives in San Francisco with his wife, Sue, where he enjoys the political theater of local and state government and shares his thoughts at www.RightinSanFrancisco.com.
