"Edlund is right at home with his bestselling brethren, Brad Thor and Brad Taylor." -Jon Land, USA Today bestselling author of the Caitlin Strong series A routine demonstration for the Department of Defense turns deadly when Peter Savage's latest cutting-edge weapon is stolen and the commander of The Strategic Global Intervention Team, James Nicolaou, is framed for murder. When he sets out to rescue his dear friend Commander Nicolaou-the subject of a nationwide dragnet with orders to shoot to kill-Peter crosses paths with a radical militia. The Cascadia Independence Movement aspires to succeed where others have failed and split off the Pacific Northwest as an independent nation-and they'll eliminate the President, Vice President, and Speaker of the House if that's what it takes. With his faithful canine companion, Peter crisscrosses the northwest in a race against time to save his friend and avert a political coup the likes of which haven't been witnessed since the Lincoln assassination plot.
