Tucker Wayne gets what appears to be a straightforward assignment: pull a pharmaceutical executive out of Russia. The target holds secrets about a biological weapon, making him valuable enough for the U.S. government to deploy their most discrete operatives. Tucker brings his partner Kane, a military working dog with combat training that exceeds most human soldiers. But the extraction goes sideways fast. The pharmaceutical magnate carries more than industrial secrets. He knows about a conspiracy that reaches across continents and threatens global stability. Tucker and Kane find themselves racing from the frozen Russian landscape to the scorching mountains of South Africa and Namibia. They discover a biological threat that has been developing for millions of years, now aimed directly at America. The conspiracy involves players who can mobilize resources across multiple nations. Tucker must rely on Kane's exceptional abilities while staying ahead of enemies who seem to anticipate their every move. The mission transforms from a simple extraction into a fight to prevent worldwide catastrophe.
