Introduction

An exhilarating tale of modern espionage and adventure featuring US Navy intelligence officer Alan Craik. During a fleet exercise in India, Alan Craik faces a minefield of explosive events that threaten to tear the country and a US battlegroup apart.

Incidents and Threats

A military base is attacked by fringe elements; an Indian submarine mutinies and then shoots down a US Navy aircraft, and a group of Indian scientists are killed when they are attacked with Sarin gas.

Suspicion and Conspiracy

Craik, ignoring the conventional wisdom that the incidents are unrelated, believes that a fanatical group have control of certain elements of both the Indian government and its armed forces.

The Escalation

Then the rebels seize part of India’s nuclear arsenal. Suddenly, a U.S. carrier battle group joins Pakistan, China, and Saudi Arabia on the target list.

The Stakes

The world is faced with the spectacle of a nuclear-capable nation in the hands of a self-destructive religious cult, and it’s up to Craik and a team of specialists to re-capture the nukes and prevent massive devastation.

Race Against Time

But with time running out and the cult leader still at large, are they already too late?
