Publisher's Synopsis
WRECKING BALL
Some heroes build. Others destroy to protect.
When cities begin to fall-one structure at a time-the world doesn't see it coming. Towers crumble, bridges twist into steel tombs, and server hubs vanish beneath engineered earthquakes. It's not nature. It's not war. It's demolition. Precision demolition. The kind only one man was ever capable of designing.
Elias "Wreck" Mason walked away from it all. Once the world's most gifted demolition engineer, he turned his brilliance into a weapon for a covert agency-until a mission cost innocent lives. He vanished into the Alaskan wilderness, buried under snow, silence, and regret.
But now his blueprints are resurfacing in places they should never be. Someone is using his techniques. Someone who knows his systems. Someone he trained.
Enter Calder Knox-former protégé, now rogue leader of a shadow outfit called The Load Line. What began as an elite demolition task force has splintered into a global threat. Calder isn't collapsing buildings. He's collapsing society-one support column at a time.
Dragged back into a world he thought he'd buried, Elias forms an uneasy alliance with Dr. Sienna Rho, an AI structural engineer with a haunted past and her own secrets buried in steel. Together, they trace seismic anomalies, decode sabotage signatures, and hunt down Calder's cells across Istanbul, Tokyo, Berlin, and beyond. But each clue leads them closer to a terrifying reality: Calder isn't just trying to destroy the world's infrastructure. He's trying to rewrite who gets to build it again.
As a global peace summit approaches in Geneva, Elias discovers the final chain-reaction demo is already underway. A sequence so complex it can't be stopped-only redirected. With time running out, Elias must climb into the bones of the collapsing machine he once created, face the man he mentored, and choose between saving millions or sacrificing himself.
WRECKING BALL is a pulse-pounding international thriller that blends the cerebral tension of Jack Reacher with the tech-noir precision of Gregg Hurwitz. Written in a cinematic, fast-cut style, this novel delivers explosive action, emotional depth, and a haunting meditation on the line between creation and destruction.
This is not a story of superheroes.
This is a story of men who understand what makes the world stand-
-and how easily it can fall.
