Purpose of Evasion
Gregory S. Dinallo
Purpose of Evasion - St Martins Mass Market Paper
Dinallo sets his second techno-thriller against the background of the 1986 U.S. air strike on Tripoli, presenting the raid as camouflage for a trade modeled on the Iran- contra affair. The CIA director and his collaborator, a rogue Air Force colonel, propose to deliver two F-111s to Quaddaffi in return for seven hostages in Palestinian hands. To keep the secret, the American pilots must be "terminated." Captain Walter Shepherd survives, however, and the rest of the novel focuses on his efforts to recover his stolen plane. Dinallo sustains interest by integrating one subplot of betrayal and counter-betrayal among Muslim terrorists with another tracing the rescue of the hostages from a Syrian submarine.
