The car erupted in a blinding flash and a deafening roar. A bomb had detonated beneath it. Only Harry’s swift action averted disaster. He had noticed a man shadowing them, a figure now confirmed to be Randall – a former agent.

Harry and Jean arrived in Beirut, driven by the urgent need to find Randall, who was holding Professor Dawson captive. Separately, Dalby was engaged in a clandestine meeting with Stok, a Russian colonel.

As his mission hurtles towards a violent conclusion, Harry is consumed by the burden of what has taken root within him. The fate of the free world hangs precariously in the balance, and he is deeply troubled by the weight of it all.
