From the Iron Eagle book series, Operation red Alert...

"Los Angeles is reeling after a partially thwarted terrorist plot left the city and county in ruins. Millions are dead and more are homeless thanks to “Rome Is Burning.” For FBI Special Agent John Swenson, aka “The Iron Eagle,” and Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim O’Brian, it was a bittersweet victory. The Eagle and his team of retired Marine Corp black operatives were only moderately successful in their mission, and now the full scope of a government conspiracy has been discovered by the men—one that could destroy not just Los Angeles but the nation. ‘Operation Red Alert’ was the secret code name to stop the 9/11 attacks that was halted by the government. A re-hatched, retooled plot to kill the President of the United States is underway along with the help of a terrorist mastermind, and potential destruction of a city and nation is imminent. The only people standing in the way are the Iron Eagle and his men—intent on stopping the attacks before they happen."
