Pike Logan and the Taskforce race to prevent a devastating biological AI tool from falling into the wrong hands in this latest electrifying thriller by New York Times bestselling author and former special forces officer Brad Taylor.

Romulus Solutions, an AI company in Palo Alto, has created a biomedical AI model that designs bacteriophage targeted against malign bacteria. When North Korea obtains the model through a cyber-attack, there is seemingly little to fear as it’s protected by unbreakable encryption—until an American mole inside the company vanishes with the keys. Now a rogue regime is one handoff away from a biological weapon capable of targeting anyone, anywhere, and leaving no fingerprints.

While the mole’s motivations are murky, the destruction he holds is not. Pike Logan and the Taskforce are ordered to recover the keys—a pursuit that leads them through Japan and deep into the shadow world where the North Korean regime and the Yakuza converge.

As Pike and his team close in on the keys, the violence surrounding them escalates, and the enemy’s willingness to kill reveals just how far they’ll go to protect the access to the weapon they hold. From the back alleys of Tokyo to the demilitarized zone near Seoul, the search accelerates into a clash with a regime that will stop at nothing to obtain the ultimate weapon—even if it means igniting a war on the Korean peninsula.
