When a covert Russian operation targets the International Space Station with precision-engineered sabotage, the world teeters on the edge of disaster. But this isn't just cyber warfare - it's the opening move of a far deadlier game.
Captain Jack Copeland, seconded from U.S. SOCOM to the CIA, is drawn back into the shadows just as he begins to taste peace. Alongside him is Elisabeth Young, brilliant CIA analyst and the one person who knows the enemy's patterns - and Jack’s.
As the sabotage spreads from orbit to earth, and old black projects rise from the Cold War’s deepest graves, Copeland’s team must outpace a hidden mastermind before the next launch ignites global collapse.
From the streets of Istanbul to the frozen tundra of the Arctic, from betrayal in Moscow to a showdown aboard the ISS itself, Copeland faces enemies in the dark—and the ones within.
Time is running out. And the next war may not start on earth.
