As
Cassini, an unmanned spacecraft, approaches Earth, a retired NASA
scientist seizes control to send it hurtling towards Israel to spread a
radioactive cloud. He believes that forcing the evacuation of the Holy
Lands will break the cycle of violence between Jews and Palestinians,
slowing the worldwide spread of terrorism.
Senior military officers in the Pentagon have secretly
developed a weapons system capable of destroying Cassini. Disclosing the
existence of this revolutionary weapon could provoke an international
crisis leading to a resumption of the Cold War; keeping it secret could
force the evacuation of six million people from Israel.
