for Black Sunday is as gripping as today's headlines. In retaliation for American aid to Israel, an Arab terrorist group has determined to blow up the Super Bowl. Their prime weapon is Michael Lander, a former Navy pilot, whose own stränge psyche, combined with his experiences as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, has driven him to seek revenge against a world he believes has savaged him. As the pilot of the Aldrich televisión blimp that floats above professional football games and a brilliant technician, Lander is uniquely qualified to carry out the act of madness that ob-sesses him.
To work with him, cajole him and protect his fragile ego, the guerrillas have selected Dahlia Iyad, whose erotic inventiveness matches her beauty and her fanaticism.

of plastic explosive to the completion of the nacelle that will contain the hideous device they have created.
Ranged against them is Major David Kabakov of the Israeli Secret Service, who knows that the guerrillas are mounting a strike somewhere in the United States but has no idea what their target is or who the perpetrators are. He will stop at nothing to find out. The result is a novel of adventure that will have readers sitting on the edge of ťheir chairs right down to the hair-raising ending.
Written with an eye for detail and an alarming verisimilitude, Black Sunday is the latest in a long-line of best-selling novels that engender excitement and suspense because the author has ingen-iously turnéd a topicai possibility into a story that threatens to become fact be-fore the readeťs eyes.
