Description
**An Amazon Top 10 Bestseller**
"Stay low, check your six, and keep a round in the chamber, because J.L. Hancock is back with another overdose of high-octane action!”— JEFF EDWARDS, Bestselling author of 'STEEL WIND' and 'THE DAMOCLES AGENDA'
An escaped prisoner. A lab hidden in western China develops an AI weapon. A Russian special operator investigates a heinous crime scene.
In the stunning sequel to The Hawk Enigma, Voodoo and his team of special operators are thrust back into the heart of a global conflict. The stakes have never been higher as China’s Belt and Road Initiative pushes into Central Asia, exposing dark ambitions and a secret lab advancing AI warfare.
Set against the vast steppes of Kazakhstan, this story unfolds in the shadow of the former Soviet Union. Tensions rise as Voodoo’s team embarks on a covert mission. New team members add to the friction as more troubles from Voodoo’s past return to the present.
They soon find themselves on the brink of a perilous future the Western world is unwilling to face: a world where AI reigns supreme, and there's no turning back. Fans of Jack Ryan, Tom Clancy, and Clive Cussler will snatch this thriller and refuse to let go.
Will Voodoo’s team succeed? Or has his luck finally run out?
