Fans of Vince Flynn and Tom Clancy will tear through this explosive new thriller where global power, covert action, and moral compromise collide A new geopolitical alliance is spreading like wildfire--and it's threatening to ignite a global crisis. After years of confronting state-level threats from China and Russia, the United States and its allies now face something far more unpredictable: a powerful, shadowy syndicate forged between Mexican cartels and extremists in Africa's Sahel region. Their goal is simple--maximize chaos, reap profits, and tear at the seams of the liberal democratic order. Harrison Kohl, Director of the CIA's Special Activities Center, is handed a single directive from President Eleanor Cashman: dismantle the network at any cost. But Kohl quickly discovers this enemy doesn't play by familiar rules. Armed with cutting-edge weapons, cloaked by advanced operational security, and backed by billions in illicit funding, the syndicate is more than a threat--it's a revolution in organized violence. When conventional operations fail, Kohl is forced to make a desperate move: activate disavowed assets and launch an off-the-books campaign that could either destroy the syndicate or drag the United States into scandal--and defeat.

David Bruns earned a Bachelor of Science in Honors English from the United States Naval Academy. (That's not a typo. He's probably the only English major you'll ever meet who took multiple semesters of calculus, physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, naval architecture, and weapons systems just so he could read some Shakespeare. It was totally worth it.) Following six years as a US Navy submarine officer, David spent twenty years in the high-tech private sector. A graduate of the prestigious Clarion West Writers Workshop, he is the author of over twenty novels and dozens of short stories. Today, he co-writes contemporary national security thrillers with retired naval intelligence officer, J.R. Olson. J.R. Olson graduated from Annapolis in May of 1990 with a BS in History. He served as a naval intelligence officer, retiring in March of 2011 at the rank of commander. His assignments during his 21-year career included duty aboard aircraft carriers and large deck amphibious ships, participation in numerous operations around the world, to include Iraq, Somalia, Bosnia, and Afghanistan, and service in the U.S. Navy in strategic-level Human Intelligence (HUMINT) collection operations as a CIA-trained case officer. J.R. earned an MA in National Security and Strategic Studies at the U.S. Naval War College in 2004, and in August of 2018 he completed a Master of Public Affairs degree at the Humphrey School at the University of Minnesota. Today, J.R. often serves as a visiting lecturer, teaching national security courses in Carleton College's Department of Political Science, and hosts his radio show, National Security This Week, on KYMN Radio in Northfield, Minnesota.
