"Can Marcus Ryker and his team of elite operatives stop a secret plot to unleash the most devastating sneak attack on the U.S. and her allies in history--before millions of Americans die? And no one in Washington has any idea whats coming. Marcus Ryker has been tasked with hunting down Abu Nakba, the most wanted terrorist in the world. The latest intel sends him and his team to Pakistan. There, they discover a horrifying secret inside a state-of-the- art lab. Marcus orders the lab rigged with explosives, but the plan goes bad, and a massive explosion rocks the city. News of the blast breaks in Washington just as President Carlos Hernandez is engaged in tense trade negotiations to forge a landmark agreement with China on trade and counterterrorism. Little does the president realize that Beijing is almost finished preparing its imminent invasion of Taiwan. Or that a terrifying new virus is about to be released inside the U.S. to kill millions and thwart Washingtons capacity to defend its ally. Ryker and his team must race to stop Beijing and the Kairos terror network before they unleash a catastrophe that brings the superpowers to the brink of nuclear war."-- Provided by publisher.
