      DIA?

      An American agent must track and disable a dirty bomb destined for Cardiff before it can be detonated thereby destroying US/UK relations.

      This alone gets the job done for this sort of story. It is generic, but convey a solid description of the story.

      The mission of the DIA, per its name, is to collect actionable intelligence with a focus on national defense-military issues as opposed to the CIA which has a broader mandate.?? Okay, so he’s got a fix on their location.? Now what?? What becomes his specific objective goal?

      Or does the plot begin earlier? Is it about the process of finding and following clues that put him on the scent, the trail of the terrorist group?

      “An American special operator must track down stolen heavy fission material before it is used to destroy US/UK relations.”

      Here is some background.

      This is the 3rd in my series and not wanting to rehash how the MC became involved with the DIA in this edition.? He was a Delta Force special operator, retired to offer private security, then during an operation in the last edition, is coherced to work for his former boss who is now the Director of the DIA.? Coherced but running his own team of operators, a former Delta team member and 2 CIA agents on loan and an ever-growing list of assets.? He’s unconventional because he’s more hands-on/black ops, which is why his former boss ‘recruited’ him.

      In this edition, the MC is called to action after it is discovered raioactive material was stolen from a medical device manufacturer and traced to Kosovo then Serbia and then chatter brings them to the UK.? The material can be used in a dirty bomb… raioactive but not nearlly as damaging as a nuclear threat, but still something that one bomb could destroy or at least contaminate everything in a 5 mile radius.? 5 kilos of the material was taken compared to the 27 kilos that wrecked havoc on Chernobyl.

      His goal is to track down the location of the dirty bomb(s) in collusion with MI6, but he’s not one for rules.? I’m still outlining a lot of this for NANOWRIMO which started today and I’m at a point where I think one of the bad guys is going to ‘accidently’ blow up with one of the bombs but not sure where I want it to blow yet… not in the UK but maybe in a region with already low relations with the US, like Serbia.
