Book description
After two high-risk missions, CIA special agent John Wells is living
on the edge, his nights filled with disturbing dreams. He knows he has
no time for rest - and he has made many enemies.
But what happens next shocks him to the core. First, he is targeted
by assassins sent by a psychotic arms dealer out for revenge. His
girlfriend is left for dead. Then, in vengeful pursuit of his
assailants in Moscow, he stumbles on a terrifying plot. Terrorists
have successfully targeted Russia's nuclear complex and are planning
an attack on America's shores.
With the clock ticking, Wells realises that to stand a chance of
preventing it, he mustn't let a personal vendetta get in his way - the
future of the West depends upon him.
