About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author Stephen Coonts delivers another nail-biting thriller starring CIA Director Jake Grafton and his right-hand man, Tommy Carmellini.

The president of the United States stands on an outdoor stage, flanked by powerful members of his administration and party. Television crews are preparing for broadcast. High above the stage, on a nearby rooftop, a decorated sniper adjusts the scope on his rifle.

Afterwards, America will never be the same.

Jake Grafton and Tommy Carmellini suddenly find themselves on the wrong side of the law when a public act of violence throws the country into chaos just before a presidential election. After martial law is declared and rioting begins, Grafton and Carmellini must risk everything to unravel a massive conspiracy and help a new resistance movement rise up against an unimaginable enemy…

Ratings and reviews

Although I greatly enjoyed all of his other books, this one read like a paranoid Manifesto. Left-wing conspiracies. Imagined socialist agendas. A race war. All led by a "fictional" half black president of questionable heritage and dubious religious affiliation. Definitely not his best work.

I am a huge Jake Grafton fan and look forward to each new book! This is nothing but a right wing diatribe against the left and all thinks liberal. Coonts layed out a manifesto of hate and ignorance. What a horrible end to a great series!

The stark depictions of what the country could end up as, although fiction, in part, are chillingly prophetic if our country doesn't wake up and take the reins of power back to "We, the People". Some of the situations are already happening. Let's pray we don't have an event that would result in martial law. This is too close to "realtime" for comfort
