The BRAND NEW high-octane thriller from MILLION COPY BESTSELLER Rob Sinclair. A must-read for fans of Lee Child and Robert Ludlum. 📚💥
Can one man stop a nation from going up in flames?
James Ryker, former intelligence agent, is thrust into a high-stakes conspiracy that will test his limits, and his loyalty, to the max. Sent to Atlanta, Georgia, his mission to find a missing governor's daughter quickly spirals into a deadly pursuit of ex-special ops agent Caleb Marshall. A man presumed dead, but very much alive, and with a terrifying thirst for vengeance.
As Ryker navigates a treacherous landscape of radical right-wing factions, underground networks, and devastating terror attacks, he uncovers a plot of unimaginable scale. Marshall’s meticulous plan to plunge the USA into chaos is playing out before his eyes, and with just a handful of allies, Ryker finds himself in a desperate race against time to stop the world’s leading power combusting from within.
Get ready for the next action-packed instalment of the bestselling Ryker series. Perfect for fans of Lee Child and Mark Greaney.
