When former Vatican Knight Kimball Hayden seeks solitude in a remote South Dakota cabin, he stumbles upon a catastrophic threat that could ignite World War III. Russian operatives have stolen nuclear launch codes from a secret Black Hills facility and are hiding in a neighboring cabin with a dark server capable of hijacking American satellites.

As FBI Agent Shari Cohen races against time to locate the breach, and the President faces an impossible decision in the Oval Office, Kimball—haunted by his violent past and seeking redemption—finds himself between his peaceful retirement and the instincts that made him the Vatican’s deadliest operative.

With Moscow’s forty-eight-hour countdown ticking toward activation, the Vatican deploys Isaiah and his team of Knights to stop a nuclear crisis the U.S. government refuses to acknowledge. But they'll need Kimball Hayden—the one man who knows something is terribly wrong in those mountains, and the only one close enough to stop it. Time is running out. The coordinates are ready. And Kimball Hayden must choose: remain the broken man seeking peace, or become the weapon the world needs one last time.

From bestselling author Rick Jones, he brings another action-laden adventure of the Vatican Knights series. The compelling characters that are the Vatican Knights pulls the reader in and never lets go. Each of the action-thriller novels within the series will leave readers gripped by espionage, religious power, terrorism, and political warfare, and immerse them in the world the VATICAN KNIGHTS live and operate in.
