Publisher's Synopsis
Witnessing dark horrors, the CIA and British SIS kill team deploy to the streets of Europe. The savage trail of death forces these covert operatives to cross the line from elite warriors, once shrouded in secrecy, to deadly assassins.
A Chinese special forces operative, Zhang Xiaopeng, travels to Europe with a specific mission to accomplish. His sole objective, backed by high-ranking Chinese General Zhou Kai, is to assassinate Western scientists and leaders in a bid to inflame tensions and provoke Western powers into war.
As Zhang moves on to Monte Carlo after his first hit in Florence, Matt Carver of the British Secret Intelligence Service, and CIA paramilitary operations officer Sean Flynn are both sent on their own missions, to eliminate a Chinese spy network that is causing great concern.
However, due to leaks from within the US Intelligence family, the two realize that they will have to work together and off grid if they are to have any chance of stopping the one-man killing machine and prevent a new world war.
But as their mission drags them from one European country to another, following Zhang's trail of destruction, it becomes apparent that the stakes are even higher than they had guessed. Time is running out and solving a deadly puzzle becomes a game of cat and mouse, with the future of civilization being the ultimate prize.
