Part of Pike Logan, book 6
First published 2014
Pike Logan and the Taskforce discover they have become targets in a deadly game. Russia has delivered what they believe is a defunct Cold War weapon to Boko Haram militants in Nigeria. The FSB assumes decades have rendered the device harmless, but they miscalculated. The weapon remains fully functional, and Boko Haram plans to unleash it on innocent crowds at a major international event. Pike and his partner Jennifer must uncover who is hunting them while racing to prevent mass casualties. Their investigation leads to buried FSB secrets that could determine whether millions live or die. The Taskforce, accustomed to being predators, must now survive as prey while Russia orchestrates a plan to drain American resources and credibility through prolonged conflict.
