Mitch Rapp faces his most dangerous assignment yet when Pakistani nuclear weapons threaten to fall into terrorist hands. The CIA operative finds himself pursuing dead ends across multiple continents alongside his partner Scott Coleman. Their mission becomes more complex when Russia enters the picture with its own agenda for the weapons. Moscow wants to increase instability throughout the Middle East rather than prevent nuclear terrorism. Rapp must go undercover deep inside Russian territory, pretending to be an American ISIS member. His infiltration reveals a conspiracy far more destructive than simple weapons theft. The Russian plot could trigger widespread catastrophe across the region. Rapp discovers he may have finally encountered an adversary capable of defeating him.
