Synopsis

The new high-octane thriller from New York Times bestselling author Patrick Lee. Prepare to be hooked from page one…
Ex--Special Forces Sam Dryden lives quietly in a small coastal California town. But his peaceful existence is shattered when he receives a phone call from an old friend in trouble—and now there’s no turning back.
“An adrenaline-fueled [series]…recalls the best of Tom Clancy and Robin Cook.”—Publishers Weekly
FBI agent Marnie Calvert is called to a horrifying crime in the Mojave Desert. When the investigation leads Calvert to Dryden, the two find themselves caught up in a generations-long conspiracy that’s finally coming to fruition. Now they must face down a phantom network whose technology can affect events before they even happen…and is bound to result in the death of millions. To defeat it, Dryden will need to do more than think fast: He must find a way to outsmart a ruthless enemy that can seize on his mistakes before he even makes them. And time is running out…

“Patrick Lee’s thriller featuring a loner hero compares to Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series but with the added kick of technology. Readers will wait with bated breath for the next Dryden adventure.”—Library Journal

This edition of the book is the deluxe, tall rack mass market paperback.
