Off Florida's east coast, NOAA scientist Dr. Eve Larsen works toward a climate breakthrough that could stop killer storms worldwide. Contract killer Brian DeCamp enters the nearby Hutchinson Island Nuclear Power Station with plans for a meltdown worse than Chernobyl. Former CIA director Kirk McGarvey prevents the disaster, but stopping DeCamp triggers something far worse. McGarvey discovers a web of assassinations and corrupt money flowing to powerful people determined to destroy Larsen's climate project. These enemies prove more brutal than McGarvey expected. He must protect the scientist and her world-changing research while hunting down the forces behind the nuclear sabotage attempt. The stakes climb higher as McGarvey realizes the attack was just the beginning of a larger plan to eliminate anyone who threatens the status quo.
