The Ishtar Stratagem

What if Saddam Hussein HAD had weapons of mass destruction ...but of a kind no-one could ever have guessed at... In 1997, an Iraqi farmer ploughs up a mysterious object made from a substance previously unknown to science. Five years later, US spy satellites detect a huge, unidentified installation in course of construction over the spot where it was found. It looks like Saddam is up to something; but what? International concern mounts until finally an SAS unit under Major Mike Hartman is sent into Iraq to find out just what is going on at Quarat and stop it. But nothing in their training could have prepared Hartman and his squad for what is lurking within the complex. If incalculable disaster is to be avoided they must face a deadly alliance between a ruthless, power-crazed military dictatorship and a supernatural force which could devastate the entire planet.
