Part of John Wells, book 10
First published 2016
John Wells has stopped a conspiracy meant to ignite war between the United States and Iran. The architect of this scheme escaped into layers of protection that seem impossible to penetrate. Wells decides this man must face justice and takes on the hunt personally. The White House wants no further disruption. Wells's former CIA colleagues pursue their own objectives. Foreign intelligence services detect something significant brewing and begin their own investigations. Russia and China join the developing situation. The entire operation threatens to explode beyond anyone's control. Wells finds himself isolated once more. Enemies circle closer with each passing hour. He must navigate a web of competing interests while staying ahead of those who want him eliminated. The pursuit becomes a deadly game where Wells faces adversaries from multiple nations. His survival depends on outmaneuvering forces that grow stronger and more coordinated. The stakes extend far beyond personal vengeance into international consequences that could reshape global power.
