Synopsis

Agent John Wells is back in Washington. His wounds have healed, but his mind is far from clear. He is restless, careless with his safety, uneasy in his skin. When the CIA finds evidence of a surge in Taliban activity backed by an unknown foreign power, it takes little to convince him to return to Afghanistan to investigate. But what he finds there is far from what he expected.A deadly power play in China; a mission in North Korea gone terribly wrong; an Iran determined to go nuclear; a mole within the ranks of the CIA who is about to light a fuse. The world is hurtling towards confrontation. And this time there may be nothing Wells can do to stop it...
