Joe Ledger faces his deadliest mission yet when terrorists deploy a weapon that triggers earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Ledger and his team race to track down the mercenaries behind the attacks while searching for the global superpower funding their operations. Each discovery raises the stakes higher.
