Peter Newman thought America had found peace by 2032. The president declared the terror threat ended. Iranian nuclear weapons no longer posed danger. Progressive leaders had slashed military spending to fund social programs. Then suicide bombers strike Houston. Dr. Martin Cohen, America's top physicist and Newman's Naval Academy roommate, vanishes in the chaos. Fuel prices explode. The economy teeters toward collapse. Washington politicians scramble for someone to blame while ignoring the missing scientist. Newman, a decorated Marine veteran of countless covert missions, takes on the search himself. Finding Marty Cohen becomes a deadly chase that threatens Newman's entire family. The rescue mission reveals a conspiracy more dangerous than any external enemy America has ever faced.
