The deadly terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, have changed the world, and no one can predict what will happen next. World governments scramble for a sense of sanity, but they have no idea of the unimaginable horror that is unfolding behind their collective backs. CIA agent Bill Wilder, still haunted years later by the deaths of his brother and fiancee in Vietnam, is suddenly thrust into the nightmare of nuclear terrorism. He and his lifelong friend must track down a madman with his finger on the button of a stolen nuclear weapon before an unsuspecting world is destroyed in an atomic Armageddon. But a beautiful woman plagues Wilder's efforts, not only as his CIA supervisor, but in a darker sense when he learns that she is connected to his brother's murderer from so long ago.
