First published 2022
Scot Harvath arrives in unfamiliar territory with America's survival at stake. The country's most dangerous enemy has created a threat that previous administrations refused to confront. Now the clock has expired and inaction means catastrophe. Harvath operates as America's premier spy, but this mission feels different from anything he has faced. He enters a culture he doesn't understand with almost no allies to rely on. Danger surrounds him from the moment he sets foot on foreign soil. Multiple hostile forces pursue their own lethal objectives, making it nearly impossible for Harvath to distinguish allies from enemies. Each step forward reveals new layers of deception and violence. The stakes couldn't be higher as American democracy hangs in the balance. Harvath must navigate the treacherous landscape of competing agendas and deadly plots. He risks his life to uncover the explosive conspiracy and ensure every enemy operative faces justice.
