Publisher's Synopsis
America is on the brink of a post-nuclear war. Recent events have catapulted the American military into a state of emergency and American enemies are planning their assault. It started when a reporter discovered the horrific truth regarding the Strategic Offensive Reduction Treaty (a critical peace agreement between the former Soviet Union and the United States): Russia is cheating, and even worse - they hold the ultimate trump card: the one secret that can bring down the worlds super power. To exploit this haunting secret, Russia has constructed the most dangerous network of secret operatives ever known. Brutally trained from birth to act and think like Americans, this dynamic organization has been planted on American soil long ago by the former KGB to retrieve information at any cost, cause political catastrophe, or kill on moment's notice. Now they are out of control, striking fear into the heart of the Pentagon. In response to a devastating political assassination, the CIA has assembled a powerful team of agents that "do not exist" in an attempt to terminate an enemy that cannot be caught by any traditional methods. The fate of the free world is in their hands. These CIA agents are the last link between liberty and a nuclear holocaust. This exhilarating sequel casts the reader further into the furious depths of the intense vendetta, and unpredictable deceit - where there is a frightful undercover agenda that even the operatives themselves are not aware of, and an ominous shadow enemy is introduced.
The reader is paralyzed with anticipation as the deadly rivalry somersaults out of control after the enemy operatives realize they have been set up by the system of honor they lived by. Here the game changes and no one has told them the rules. Betrayed by their own country and thrown into a world they can not trust, they are forced to depend on the most potent weapon they had ever been trained to use: their unnatural minds. In a fast paced sequel that spins from one explosive scene to the next, the most high-tech weaponry is used including speed of light weapons, "smart chips," artificial intelligence, and never before exposed government technology and organizations, thus introducing a new, exciting, untapped level of spycraft where nothing is what it seems.
