Chase Thompson's life and retirement plans have been turned upside down. Now, a secret CIA team operating within the United States has offered Chase a chance to find a new purpose and meaning. Chase will utilize his years of experience in law enforcement, his SWAT training, and his investigative skills in telecom fraud to help protect his country. After some initial "spy craft" training, Chase is on the way to spend time with a friend and former SWAT teammate when he is tasked with finding out why one of the world's leading epidemiologists and zoonotic scientists suddenly booked a trip from China to Manhattan, Kansas, the location of the United States Bio and Agro-Defense Facility. The winds of war might start on the plains of Kansas and sweep across the United States unless Chase can help unravel and stop an international plot. The secret plan, if successful, could shift the balance of the world's economic and military power. The second of the Chase Thompson novels is another action-packed thriller that could be in tomorrow's headlines. Or has some of it already happened?
