In a changing world where a new type of building-the skyscraper-now dots the coast, farmers move to the city, and the automobile has finally replaced the horse, a new adventure begins.... After the Iron Hand films one of its assassins murdering a count while wearing a soldier's uniform for a rival country, the framed nation sends its top special agent, Ranger Jordan Tyson, to track down the terrorists and intercept the film before war consumes the world. Jordan assembles an unlikely team for the job-Vince, another loyal agent who'd do anything to save his country, and Hunter, an old military buddy who tries every night to drink away his vengeful heart. As they try to complete a seemingly impossible goal, Orson Pierce, an old ambassador, uses his years of political experience and connections in an attempt to smooth over the hot tempers of angry noblemen. The ambassador ventures into enemy territory, knowing that failure will mean his death. But as these four men do their best to stop millions from dying, they find clues uncovering a much larger conspiracy-one that will shake the world's political structure to its core.
