THE FALLEN
Book ID/图书代码: 07688010B38002
English Summary/英文概要: Twenty world leaders meet for the G8 Summit at the beautiful Cheyenne Resort in Colorado Springs. But an ugly plot lurks beneath the surface: a terrorist group, The Fallen Angels, plans to wreak havoc on the Summit.
With the Secret Service, the FBI, Homeland Security, the military, and security from twenty different governments on-hand, shouldn’t the resort be the safest place in the world? It seems impossible that a terrorist group could infiltrate the Summit. And yet they do. Within minutes, twenty world leaders are taken hostage, and Richard Coffee, the group’s leader, makes his first demand: release twenty detainees from Guantanamo Bay, or he’ll execute one leader each hour until his demands are met.
Only one man can disrupt this plot. Derek Stillwater is that man.
Working undercover as a maintenance man at the resort, Stillwater will wage war on the world’s deadliest, most sophisticated terrorist organization, picking off the terrorists one by one-until he comes face-to-face with an evil force from his past, Richard Coffee, The Fallen Angel himself.

Awards/获奖情况:Fans of TV’s Jack Bauer who place a premium on action may enjoy Terry’s third novel featuring superhuman intelligence operative Derek Stillwater (after The Serpent’s Kiss), but those who like plausibility in their thrillers had better look elsewhere. Stillwater is working undercover as a maintenance employee at Cheyenne Hills, a resort near Colorado Springs, Colo., which is hosting the G8 summit. The Fallen Angels, a terrorist group whose members are all recruited from the highest levels of the world’s intelligence agencies, easily manage to take control of the resort. Stillwater and an attractive food service worker, plucky Maria Sanchez, who proves surprisingly lethal, are the world’s best hope for preventing an international disaster. Less than logical prose (e.g., for reasons we don’t completely understand, [the terrorists] have proven to be very resistant to our interrogations) doesn’t help the Die Hard plot line.
