Only operative David Morton can destroy a Russian-made weapon that can control the US president’s mind—from the New York Times–bestselling author.
David Morton and his new Hammer Force—an intelligence agency created by the United Nations after the carnage in Bosnia—have a formidable task. To avert a world crisis, they must win a deadly, invisible battle for control of the mind of the president of the United States. A weapon has been created by the former Soviet Union’s most brilliant scientist, Professor Igor Tamasara, that is designed to trigger responses in the president that will pit the United States and Japan against each other, leading to World War III. From that conflict, Tamasara’s new paymaster—China—will emerge as the superpower of the twenty-first century.
Set against the background of Washington, Beijing, and Hong Kong, this highly original and totally credible futuristic thriller builds to a climax of nail-biting suspense. Once more showing an astonishing command of the inner workings of international politics and the world of secret intelligence, Gordon Thomas has created a first-rate work of fiction featuring unforgettable characters.
“Morton is a character who could have been created by Forsyth, le Carré or Ludlum. You will read any of his adventures in one sitting.” —Le Monde
