Description:

You wake up in a dark room with no idea where you are. You are gagged and forced into a waiting truck. You have done nothing wrong. What would you do? Kidnap! 100 suitcase-shaped nuclear bombs left Russia. Now, the Russians have no idea where these bombs are ... Fourteen-year-old Ben travels to Pakistan with his environmental-activist mother. She travels over the border to Afghanistan, but with all the Taliban activity it's supposedly too dangerous for Ben to make the journey with her. Left behind, Ben and his new Pakistani friend, Aaarya, find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. They are kidnapped and caught up in a terrifying planned Taliban attack that could destroy Southern Afghanistan, killing thousands. And when Ben sees their kidnappers are carrying some sort of weapon that looks like a suitcase, he realizes that their lives are in serious danger.
