The Teller Threshold - Hardcover

From the author of the acclaimed Bureau Archives Trilogy

The bomb changed the world. But the greatest threat of the Cold War was never nuclear war.

In 1955, intelligence services on both sides of the Iron Curtain pursued a technology so dangerous that even Edward Teller feared its consequences.

When ODI agents Giles Harrington and Lucy Howard investigate a strange incident at Edwards Air Force Base, they track the existence of Decision Locking-a covert system capable of narrowing human judgment until dissent simply ceases to exist.

Meetings end early. Arguments vanish. Opposition evaporates. And everyone leaves convinced the outcome was inevitable.

As the CIA, MI6, and Soviet intelligence battle to control the technology, Giles and Lucy discover that the struggle is no longer about nuclear superiority. It is about who will decide the future itself.

With rogue operatives, hidden laboratories, and political conspiracies, the Cold War is becoming something far more terrifying than a contest between nations. It is becoming a war against uncertainty.

From California test ranges to Washington back rooms, from Camp Hero on Long Island to London intelligence offices, and the frozen shipyards of Murmansk, The Teller Threshold delivers a tense blend of espionage, science, and political intrigue in a world where the greatest threat is not a weapon that can destroy civilization-but one that can make everyone agree.

The Teller Threshold is a gripping Cold War espionage thriller and the first novel
