Some missions are meant to prevent war. Others are designed to start one.
Former Special Forces NCO Nathan Kang thought his days running dangerous black ops were behind him... until his old commander recruits him back into the CIA for one final job: infiltrate North Korea and seek to prevent a looming geopolitical catastrophe that could destabilize the region and push the world to the brink of war. Inside the DPRK, Kang enters a deadly labyrinth where nothing is what it appears to be. Political elites, black-market smugglers, secret police, and hidden agendas all maneuver in the shadows. Every contact could be a double agent. Every piece of intelligence could be a trap. As rival factions circle and the threat of open conflict grows by the hour, Kang begins to suspect the operation he was sent to complete may have been built on a lie from the beginning. If he is right, the fallout won't just cost him his life—it will shake the world. In this taut, paranoid espionage thriller, loyalty is tested, truth is the ultimate weapon, and one man must decide how far he is willing to go when the mission itself may be the enemy.
