Former Secret Service agent Marcus Ryker's aircraft goes down in hostile territory as the world faces its gravest crisis since the Cold War ended. Russian forces hunt him while he grapples with an impossible mission: convince Washington to protect Oleg Kraskin, the Russian double agent whose actions triggered global chaos. Ryker discovers North Korea plans to exploit the international turmoil by selling nuclear weapons to Iran. The White House offers him a bargain: return to active duty as an international operative and stop the weapons before they reach buyers ready to use them. Ryker and Kraskin once worked together to prevent world war. Now they must race against time to prevent nuclear catastrophe. With Russian special forces closing in and rogue nations moving deadly cargo, Ryker faces a mission where failure means watching the free world burn.
