'Excellent' Mail on Sunday - Thriller of the Week

'This one keeps you intrigued, ready for the gut punch' STEVE BERRY

'Hawksley's hero, Rake Ozenna, is smart and tough, and we're glad to have him on our side' NELSON DE MILLE

Special agent Captain Rake Ozenna watches as a fleet of Russian military helicopters heads straight for his home, a remote Alaskan island with a population of just eighty.

What he doesn't know yet is why.

Russia is playing a dangerous political game. In a daring act of provocation, it reclaims the American island as its own. Caught in the crosshairs of sabre-rattling big powers, Rake is determined to save his people and his island, even if it costs him his life.
