Modern Russia. Contemporary USA. Russia-occupied eastern Ukraine.

Amid the gloom of suspicious deaths wrought by The Kremlin, Russian Col. Gen. Sergey Dragomirov is betrayed to the Americans by his wife. Four years later, a team of American special forces contractors are ambushed and massacred by the Russians in Donetsk. Both ambush and betrayal share a horrible link: The Black Bat, a mole who has burrowed deeply into America’s premier private defense company, Vortex Defense Industries.

The President of Vortex, Maj. Gen. James Gibson, sets out on a mole hunt that will have devastating consequences for him. His Russian opposite, Col. Gen. Dragomirov, struggles to survive Moscow’s duplicitous political games. Meanwhile, Gibson and Dragomirov’s men clash and strive for dominance on Ukrainian soil.

As the mystery surrounding the mole’s identity deepens, Gibson and Dragomirov draw closer and closer together, and their blows against one another’s forces land with ever more destructive power. At last, the mole brings the two formidable rivals face-to-face, and the consequences prove shattering.

In this military thriller and espionage mystery, the mole could be anyone, while the search for truth about betrayal takes a dark and subtle route through a dark and savage war.
