From Logan Ryles, author of The Prosecution Force series, comes an adrenaline-charged Ian Hale thriller set in Southeast Asia, where a former Delta operator's routine security job becomes a desperate race to stop a stolen weapon of mass destruction. Perfect for fans of Brad Thor, Jack Carr, and Vince Flynn. A lawless ocean. Missing cargo. A weapon that could kill millions. When former Delta operator Ian Hale accepts a contract to provide armed security for a small shipping company, it sounds straightforward--train the crew, deter pirates, and get paid. But in the unpredictable waters of the southern Philippines, nothing ever goes as planned. As the freighter cuts through the Sulu Sea, a swarm of pirate boats launches a midnight assault.

Hale leads the defense from the deck, trading gunfire in a brutal, close-quarters fight. When the smoke clears, the ship is still afloat and the attackers are either dead or gone--but one lifeboat is missing, and with it, a single crate from the manifest. The company calls it an accounting error. Hale calls it a setup. With the help of his partner Laney Shaw, Hale follows the trail deep into Southeast Asia, where every lead points to a terrifying truth: the missing cargo holds a weapon capable of turning a city into a graveyard. Now, across jungles and open seas, Hale must hunt it down before it's unleashed. He's faced soldiers, assassins, and governments. But this time, the clock itself is the enemy.
