Red Specter Tier One Thrillers, Book 5
When former Tier One Navy SEAL John Dempsey goes undercover to meet a Russian arms dealer, he walks into a trap set by Zeta, the covert Russian task force behind a recent assassination attempt on the US President. This sets off a dangerous game of strikes and counterstrikes between Dempsey’s team Ember and their Russian adversaries.
As Ember races to eliminate the ultimate threat posed by Zeta, the lines blur between espionage, counterterrorism and special ops. The Kremlin and White House both sanction the covert actions, but disavow them publicly. Ember is ordered to take the fight to Russian soil, but Zeta proves more cunning than anticipated. They retaliate with an operation that soon finds Dempsey and Team Ember battling for their very survival deep in enemy territory.
What began as Dempsey laying the groundwork to infiltrate the Russian criminal underworld has now pitted Ember against a highly-trained Russian task force in a confrontation that rises like a phoenix from the embers of the Cold War. As their shadow war rages, victory will hinge on strength, skill and outmaneuvering an opponent determined to protect Russian interests at all costs.
