What to expect

'Another "I can't put it down" thriller by Steve Berry' Reader review⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'A roller coaster ride from start to finish' Reader review⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

People say the Cold War is coming back.
For some, it never went away.

Shot down over Siberia in what was to be a simple meet-and-greet mission, ex-Justice Department agent Cotton Malone is forced into a fight for survival against Aleksandr Zorin, whose loyalty to the former Soviet Union has festered for decades into an intense hatred of the United States.

Before escaping, Malone learns that Zorin is headed for North America to join another long-term sleeper embedded in the West.

Armed with a Soviet weapon long thought to be just a myth, Zorin is aided by a shocking secret hidden in the archives of America's oldest fraternal organization, the Society of Cincinnati. Past presidents used this group's military offensive - including advice on the invasion of what was to be America's 14th Colony - Canada.

Inauguration Day for a new President of the U.S.A. is only hours away. Zorin's deadly plan is timed to bring about political chaos.

In a race against the clock from Russia to the White House itself, Malone must not only battle Zorin, he must also confront his deepest fear, a crippling weakness that he's long denied but one that now jeopardizes everything...

Steve Berry's trademark mix of fact, fiction, history and speculation is all here in this fast-paced and utterly compelling new thriller. Fans of Dan Brown and Simon McCleave will love this action-packed crime novel!

Critics Review

Berry raises this genre's stakes.
New York Times
I love this guy.
Lee Child
As always with Steve Berry, you're educated about significant things while your knuckles are turning white and the pages are flying by.
David Baldacci
A former KGB agent heading to Washington in the run-up to a new president's inauguration ... The chunks of secret history (also featuring America's past plans to invade Canada) are fascinating.
The Sunday Times
Each of Steve Berry's hugely successful thrillers ... have really fascinating aspects of arcane American history at their heart ... The frenetic action ranges from deepest Siberia to Washington DC as Malone tries to second-guess one of his most dangerous opponents ever. Cerebral derring-do adventure at its best.
