Dr. Cammy Talbot, world-famous expert on missile defense systems, returns in GAMBIT to investigate an unknown technology that is being used against American planes. Three commercial jets have gone up in flames—though nothing showed up on radar and none of the usual terrorist suspects have claimed responsibility.
With the country in a panic and the economy taking a nose-dive, the beautiful scientist finds herself enmeshed in international plots, political intrigue and a romantic triangle in the highest levels of government. As she races to develop a defense against the mystery weapon, she slowly comes to suspect that the downed planes are only the opening gambit in an ambitious campaign of conquest. (reviews)
