In the present, a new strongman has emerged in the ever-chaotic Russian republic-the enigmatic President Valeri Volodon.

For he has set a plot in motion-a plot to return Russia to its former glory.

With President Ryan fighting the political battle of his life, and his son fighting a silent war against a ruthless foe, global conflict becomes imminent-and the possibility of survival may soon be lost for all...
