Kirk McGarvey faces his most dangerous mission yet. Pakistan burns with street violence as terror groups prepare to overthrow the government. The CIA dispatches agent David Haaris to stabilize the country's military leadership, but Haaris serves a different master. This double agent works for Islamist terrorists who plan to seize control of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. Haaris murders the president and moves to install extremist leaders who will hand over two hundred nuclear weapons to international terror networks. These weapons could level every major city in the developed world. McGarvey must hunt down Haaris before the handover occurs. The terrorists call their leader "the Messiah" and use the code name Fourth Horseman. McGarvey knows that killing this heavily guarded target represents his most critical contract ever. The fate of civilization rests on his ability to eliminate one man before Pakistan's government collapses completely.
