Publisher Description

When a fragile peace breaks down and promptly devolves into a rapidly escalating shooting war between Pakistan and India, the United States is forced to intervene. With only hours remaining before the conflict reaches a deadly point of no return, the White House must find a way to shut it down immediately or risk the likelihood of a new global war. A radical cleric has become the democratically elected president of Pakistan and uses a brutal incident in the Kashmir region as an opportunity to ignite war with India. The highly lethal conventional war spins out of control when Pakistan initiates a nuclear attack. India is on the verge of launching their own nuclear response, one that will have unimaginably disastrous results for both the United States and the world at large. With only one chance to head this off, the president of the United States sends in his best people to do whatever it takes to restore the fragile peace to the region. With the clock ticking and Pakistan in the hands of a religious radical willing to do anything to destroy India, there remains only one viable option: to execute a coup d’état in Pakistan. There is only one man with the skills and experience to infiltrate the live war theater and remove the Pakistani president from power. Only one man the White House can trust. His name: Dewey Andreas. Now they have to find him before time runs out. From the author of the critically acclaimed thriller Power Down comes the latest ripped-from-the-headlines novel featuring his indelible and indomitable protagonist, the unforgettable Dewey Andreas.

"This book wasn't bad. The plot was kind of obvious, but the ending was great. The descriptions of the fight scenes were great and Dewey's dialogue was pretty funny how he talked to people. His way of waiting until the terrorist knew he was going to die before killing him fully is how most military people do it. I speak from personal experience. That was one of the things that rang the truest in this book."

    " INCREDIBLE! If you have not read anything by this author, you should start doing so today. Lots of action like a Vnce Flynn, but an entirely different character, though just as fierce. Wonderful 2nd novel by the author. "

    " Just as good as Power Down. Adrenaline packed adventure. Very up-to-date with the location and topic. Brings to light some of the activities that very well might be true instead of fiction. I look forward to many more of Ben Coes books!! "

    " Good book, with the somewhat alarming scenario of a nuclear war between India and Pakistan, with China and America playing key roles. While the author naturally(given the majority of the book buying audience) gives USA a prime role in sorting the dispute, the book is still a great action thriller "
