Flames of Deception: Cocked Pistol

by Travis Davis

Tyler Brown, an imagery analyst at the National Geospatial Agency (NGA), analyzed imagery of the oil fields in Western Siberia and detected suspicious activity in these areas. His keen observation uncovers one of the best-kept secrets in modern history. His findings triggered a chain reaction, prompting the U.S. government to initiate a multi-agency covert operation to address the issue. Meanwhile, Russia, China, and India are preparing to launch the largest naval and ground assault in modern history to seize control of oil transportation through strategic chokepoints and disrupt the global oil supply. With backing from North Korea, China is orchestrating the most extensive cyberattack on the United States’ “Green Energy” power grid. The threat of World War III looms. Can it be averted?

A Global Chess Game of War, Cyberattacks, and Survival

It’s a must read for fans of geopolitical thrillers, especially those who enjoy authors like Tom Clancy, Mark Greaney, and Dale Brown.

The novel’s combination of cutting edge technology, military strategy, and international intrigue makes it both intellectually stimulating and wildly entertaining.

With its razor sharp tension and high-stakes storytelling, it delivers a timely and thought provoking exploration of the fragility of global stability.

After making Travis Davis's One of Four: World War One Through the Eyes of an Unknown Soldier mandatory reading for my two sons, I was thrilled to dive into his new book, Flames of Deception: Cocked Pistol. I knew Davis would deliver a great read, and I was right.
