A new geopolitical alliance is spreading like wildfire--and it's threatening to ignite a global crisis. After years of confronting state-level threats from China and Russia, the United States and its allies now face something far more unpredictable: a powerful, shadowy syndicate forged between Mexican cartels and extremists in Africa's Sahel region. Their goal is simple--maximize chaos, reap profits, and tear at the seams of the liberal democratic order. Harrison Kohl, Director of the CIA's Special Activities Center, is handed a single directive from President Eleanor Cashman: dismantle the network at any cost. But Kohl quickly discovers this enemy doesn't play by familiar rules. Armed with cutting-edge weapons, cloaked by advanced operational security, and backed by billions in illicit funding, the syndicate is more than a threat--it's a revolution in organized violence. When conventional operations fail, Kohl is forced to make a desperate move: activate disavowed assets and launch an off-the-books campaign that could either destroy the syndicate or drag the United States into scandal--and defeat. Fans of Vince Flynn and Tom Clancy will tear through this explosive new thriller where global power, covert action, and moral compromise collide.
