In this superb achievement by a master storyteller, a New York City police detective caught in a web of international terrorism and global intrigue becomes the central focus of an expertly told story that's so exciting it may actually make you sweat.

Editorial Reviews

"Alexander is so far ahead of the pack that they must be howling like wolves running at his back, hungry for even just a taste of his immense writing talent. There's no doubt that in the action wolf pack Alexander is top dog, and the canine whose scent the others follow."

Independent Book Reviewer - F.C. Dubrow

"Nobody, and I mean nobody, knows as much about future military technology and the impact on past and present strategic issues on tomorrow's conflicts as does David Alexander. And nobody has the proven ability and unique flair necessary to put that knowledge and insight into the pages of the best thriller fiction going. David Alexander ranks among the most original, bold and thought-provoking authors ever to make a bid for recognition in the challenging arena of thriller fiction."
