Escape From Somalia

When the most powerful man in the world falls from the sky… silence isn’t survival—it’s strategy. President James Harrington has been in office just six months when disaster strikes at 40,000 feet. Air Force One suffers a catastrophic explosion mid-flight, forcing the United States Commander-in-Chief into an impossible decision: crash land in the lawless heart of Somalia, or die in flames above the sea. Now stranded in hostile territory with no support, no military backup, and no communications, Harrington must rely on instinct, courage, and the loyalty of a few trusted survivors—including his enigmatic head of security, Daniel Baxter. As dawn rises over a fractured nation, Harrington becomes the world’s most valuable hostage. But as alliances shift and secrets surface, he’ll soon discover that the greatest threats aren’t always found outside the wreckage. In this taut, high-octane thriller of betrayal, survival, and raw humanity, the line between power and vulnerability vanishes—and the silence that follows may be the deadliest weapon of all. For fans of 24, Jack Ryan, and Designated Survivor, this is political suspense at its fiercest.
