Pushed to the edge of oblivion, losing everything means there’s nothing left to lose.
CIA operative Bill Estes reunites with Marsh and Pavlovich to confront a new existential threat. This time, it’s not America in the crosshairs—it’s Israel.
When a tactical nuclear device obliterated a U.S. Navy warship the previous year, Estes and Marsh were thrown into a race to uncover its source. Months later, the threat to the homeland has passed, only for a new and seemingly related plot to emerge.
An Israeli spy arrives at the CIA with a chilling revelation: an Islamic plan to smuggle three tactical nuclear devices across the border into Israel. But before more can be learned, the spy is nearly killed and left in a coma.
Estes suspects Mossad’s involvement and launches a high-stakes game of espionage to uncover what’s really going on. Layer after layer is peeled back, revealing still more. Even the fundamentals begin to fall into question: who is friend, who is foe, and what justice even means.
When chaos finally detonates—first in Lebanon, then in Tel Aviv—only the truth can prevent total destruction. But this is the Middle East, where lies are as sustaining as water—and scores, like the dust, are never settled.
