Miles Kendig sits in forced retirement, stripped of his CIA career and starving for the deadly games that once defined him. Nothing fills the void left by twenty-five years of espionage work. When Russian agents approach him with an offer, Miles recognizes the moment of truth. He has spent years preparing for this gambit. Miles announces his intention to reveal the deepest secrets of world intelligence agencies, instantly transforming himself into the most wanted man on earth. Hunters from multiple nations close in as Miles executes his elaborate plan. He faces a brutal test: prove he remains the master spy he once was, or die at the hands of younger operatives who learned from his methods. The chase becomes personal vindication for a man the CIA discarded, a final chance to demonstrate his worth in the only arena that ever mattered to him.
