New York Times journalist J.B. Collins reports from the chaos of Amman, Jordan, where ISIS terrorists have launched a devastating assault. The attack leaves the Israeli and Palestinian leaders critically wounded and Jordan's king clinging to life. But the most shocking discovery emerges as Collins pieces together the aftermath: the president of the United States has disappeared and appears to have been taken captive. As word spreads globally, Collins finds himself at the center of an international crisis that threatens to reshape the Middle East. The journalist must navigate the dangerous political landscape while the world watches and waits. With regional leaders incapacitated and America's commander-in-chief missing, Collins faces the story of his career amid escalating tensions that could ignite a broader conflict.
