The clock is counting down... And when it hits zero, the world will never be the same again.
Fifteen years ago, the remote Russian city of Nobilsk goes dark. Three hundred kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, this closed city is shrouded in secrecy and home to a level-four security bio-research facility. When a Russian virologist sends a desperate message to the British Consulate, claiming that the worst has happened, it's all hands on deck.SAS trooper Solomon Church, alongside a small team, are dropped into the Siberian tundra with a vital mission: extract the virologist, secure his research, and destroy everything else. But when they arrive, what they expect, and what they discover are two very different things. And what begins as a rescue mission, quickly becomes something much, much deadlier...
In the present, a retired Solomon Church receives the kind of phone call he dreads. Interpol head, and friend, Julia Hallberg tells him she needs his help. They've been tracking the movements of a terrorist cell in the UK who are trying to buy a pathogen from a private Chinese biotech company. But something went wrong. By the time Interpol and armed response arrive, the buyers and sellers are dead, the scene a bloody mess. And among the carnage, a broken phial, its contents unknown, and evidence that at least one person got away.
Advised by their experts that the risk is minimal, the government try to bury the case. But Hallberg doesn't believe it, and if she's right, it could mean fallout of the highest order. No one will help her. So she calls the only man that can. It's a race against time to find the missing carrier, and stop the spread of an unknown pathogen into the greater population. But as the clock counts down and more information begins to surface about what they're chasing, the truth becomes apparent. It's not a few lives at stake... But maybe the fate of the whole world.
