“Brass-knuckled international intrigue for readers who still pine for the world of James Bond” –Kirkus Reviews
Major Rake Ozenna is tasked with bringing in an espionage courier crossing from Russia to America carrying details about a weapon of unimaginable power.
Before he can extract her, the courier is killed in a firefight in the Bering Strait, and the intelligence she was carrying is lost.
Where is the weapon now? Who controls it and what is their ultimate goal? In a search that takes him from the remote Russian Far East to the heart of dangerous eastern Europe, Rake enters a desperate race against time to prevent a catastrophe beyond imagining.
