Book Synopsis
"Coes blows the competition away"--Brad Thor
Cloud, the code name a high-level Russian hacker, has acquired a nuclear weapon. It's an older bomb from the USSR's Cold War arsenal with the power to devastate a major city. Fueled by a dark and personal vendetta, Cloud has put it onto an anonymous trawler, piloted by jihadists, headed straight to America.
"Explosive from beginning to end."--Bookreporter
Dewey Andreas, a former Delta working as an agent for the CIA, is still grieving the murder of his fiancée. He's lost his focus, his edge--and the confidence of his superiors. But when an overseas mission to capture Cloud goes awry, Dewey becomes America's last hope of putting a stop to the bomb. Now it's up to Dewey to put his past behind him and risk everything to find one of the world's most elusive enemies...or witness a terrorist attack timed to coincide with the country's biggest holiday: Independence Day.
"Coes is in the same league as Brad Thor and Vince Flynn, and this high-octane race against time will have plot-driven thriller readers unable to turn the pages fast enough."
--Booklist (starred review)
