Mitch Rapp makes a mortal enemy of Russia in this high-octane and "ripped straight from next week´s headlines" (The Real Book Spy) installment in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. Mitch Rapp hates owing anyone a favor--especially when it´s the world´s most powerful crime lord. But when Damian Losa calls, Mitch is honor bound to answer. The Syrian government has created a highly addictive new narcotic that it plans to distribute throughout Europe. It´s a major threat to Losa´s business and he´s determined to stop it by any means necessary. Rapp is the perfect choice for the mission. Not only does he have extensive experience operating in the Middle East, but he´s also entirely expendable. As he crosses into war-torn Syria, Rapp quickly discovers a shocking truth. The new drug isn´t being produced by Damascus to prop up the government´s collapsing finances. Instead, it was created by Russia´s asymmetrical warfare unit as a weapon against the West. With far more than Damian Losa´s interests at stake, Rapp devises a desperate plan that forces him and his team onto a battlefield where the United States is virtually powerless, and allegiances shift almost hourly. Further, if Russia uncovers their plot, it will set off a confrontation between the two countries that could change the course of history in this "bullet train to high adventure" (Townhall).
