xRake Ozenna enters a critical race against time to prevent a disaster that would paralyze civilization as we know it.
"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.
