BRITAIN IS BURNING. THE WAR IS SURGING SOUTH. AND SURVIVAL IS ABOUT TO GET PERSONAL.

As savage fighting rips through northern England, Jack Novak and his unit go rogue to help a desperate comrade reach his young family. But the village they return to has fallen into brutal hands—ruled by fear and crawling with predators who prey on the weakest. Especially children.

To save them, Jack and his team must attempt the impossible: a covert rescue deep behind enemy lines, into the heart of a hostile city where discovery means death. The odds are against them. Time is running out. And failure is not an option.

In London, ruthless Prime Minister Edith Spencer fights to cling to power as a relentless detective closes in on a crime that could destroy her—and subject her to the same merciless justice she’s inflicted on others.

On Death Row, Bertie Payne is running out of time. Isolated, terrified, and facing a barbaric public execution, his only hope lies in an intervention that may never come.

And in Baghdad, a vicious power struggle threatens to shatter the Caliphate’s leadership—pushing a volatile world to the brink of nuclear annihilation.

Four fronts. One fractured world. And a battle that will decide its fate.
