A long-lost nuclear weapon in the hands of one man could annihilate a city. In the hands of The Cause, it could destroy the world’s economy – or ignite nuclear war. Stopping the unthinkable falls to Special Agent Frank Deal and his unique team of WMD hunters.
The massive nuclear bomb rested half-buried in the sand, its black casing still bearing the faint image of its previous owner – USAF. The bomb vanished sixty years ago into the waters just off the Georgia coast after a mid-air collision. Now, two skinny kids and their unscrupulous pawnbroker father stand at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean looking at a monster capable of incinerating an entire city. The weapon should be returned to the military.
But that isn’t going to happen.
After ruthlessly acquiring the bomb, former Texas governor Margie Franks and the rest of the secret society known as The Cause hatch a plan to destabilize and control the market for key natural resources. Not hindered by morality or humanity, the cabal of billionaires will use anything and anyone to advance their pursuit of wealth and global influence.
At the request of MI5 Director Sir Gregory Fender, Special Agent Frank Deal and his expert team fly to London to investigate a terrorist threat of historic proportion. With the legendary terrorist leader, the Wolf, controlling the next generation of technically savvy fanatics, Deal receives intelligence pointing to Oxford University as the epicenter of radical activity. To avoid alerting any terrorists operating within the university, Deal calls on his most unique asset – four American college sophomores – to go undercover as international students. Michael King and his three friends’ discovery of new long-range drones, capable of delivering heavy payloads anywhere in the British Isles, sparks the possibility of multiple surprise terrorist attacks. Maybe even nuclear.
Entangled in a web of treachery and deceit, Deal must first discover whoever lies behind the threat or the world may once again feel the full effect of nuclear hellfire.
