A code, Tucker soon learns, that's coveted the world over. A time-sensitive code known as the Ultimate Encryption, capable of launching enough nuclear missiles to blow the world's superpowers off the map. In short, a code to trigger Armageddon.
Sensing the value of his secrets, the CIA accuses Tucker of murder and within hours is in hot pursuit. Tucker must also brave the Sicilian Mafia to locate his boss's beautiful daughter and take her underground.
But now a ruthless psychopath pierces their disguises, Vlad Jarkko, a bitter enemy from Tucker's CIA days. When Jarkko spirits Monica to a refugee camp in desolate North Korea, Tucker knows he must resume his blood feud—and find Monica before she capitulates to her abductor's unspeakable tortures.
