Marcus Ryker spent years protecting the American president. Now he must use those same skills to stop a different leader entirely. In Moscow, a Russian president consolidates power with ruthless efficiency. He silences opponents and prepares a military strike designed to shatter NATO and push Washington toward nuclear confrontation. The American president remains focused on threats from North Korea and Iran, missing the danger building in the Kremlin. This Russian leader operates like a czar, moving fast and without warning. Ryker sees what others cannot. His Secret Service training taught him to shield leaders from harm. But saving his country now requires the opposite instinct. He must become the threat rather than eliminate it. The skills that once made him the perfect protector could make him the perfect assassin. Two superpowers edge toward a conflict that could destroy everything.
