A major North American hydroelectric dam is blown up and the largest off-shore oil field in this hemisphere is destroyed in a brutal, coordinated terrorist attack. But there was one factor that the terrorists didn't take into account when they struck the Capitana platform off the coast of Colombia—slaughtering much of the crew and blowing up the platform—and that was the Capitana crew chief Dewey Andreas. Dewey, former Army Ranger and Delta, survives the attack, rescuing as many of his men as possible. But the battle has just begun.

Deep within the Pentagon, a covert multibillion arms-for-influence program was created. The objective was to protect the United States and its allies from terrorist acts by secretly enabling a handpicked man to emerge as the most powerful leader in the Middle East. But the charismatic Tristan Nazir double-crosses America, twisting the program for his own violent ends to create ISIS. Now America is at great risk.

When Dewey uncovers the identity of a mole embedded at a high level in Israel's Mossad, it triggers a larger, more dangerous plot. The mole was the most important asset of Chinese Intelligence, and Fao Bhang, head of China's Ministry of State Security (MSS), responds to the discovery and brutal elimination of the mole, by immediately placing a kill order on the man responsible—Dewey Andreas.

Ruthless, clever, and unbelievably violent, the Russian mafia has rapidly taken over the criminal underworld in the US, and law enforcement has been unable to stem the tide. When a powerful Russian mob family declares war by publicly executing two high-profile American politicians, the message is unmistakable - opposition will be met with overwhelming deadly force. With no other viable options, the President creates a clandestine assassinations team to find and eliminate the unreachable men running this deadly criminal operation.

America is about to face the deadliest terrorist attack on its soil since 9/11. Iran has been planning a revenge attack for years, with three goals in mind. Bring America to its knees. Assassinate the popular US President J. P. Dellenbaugh. And neutralize their most successful agent, Dewey Andreas.

Dewey Andreas, still reeling from recent revelations about his own past, is ready to retire from the CIA. But he's the only available agent with the skills to carry out the CIA's plan to stop North Korea, which has made a secret nuclear deal with Iran. The plan is to inject a singular designer poison into the head of the North Korean military and in exchange for the nuclear plans provide him with the one existing dose of the antidote. But it goes awry when Dewey manages to inject a small amount of the poison into himself.

A group of some of the most powerful people in the government, the military, and the private sector has begun a brutal plan to quietly take over the reins of the US government. They've begun to remove the people who stand in their way - and replace them with their own sympathizers and puppets. They've already taken out the Speaker of the House - whose death was made to look like an accidental drowning - and the president and vice president are next.

When a fragile peace breaks down and promptly devolves into a rapidly escalating shooting war between Pakistan and India, the U.S. must intervene. With only hours remaining before the conflict reaches a deadly point of no return, the White House must find a way to shut it down immediately or risk the likelihood of a new global war. A radical cleric has become the democratically elected president of Pakistan and uses a brutal incident in the Kashmir region as an opportunity to ignite war with India. The highly lethal conventional war spins out of control when Pakistan initiates a nuclear attack.

p>With time running out to stop the nuclear destruction of Tel Aviv, Dewey Andreas must defeat his most fearsome opponent yet. Off a quiet street in Brooklyn, New York, Israeli Special Forces commander Kohl Meir is captured by operatives of the Iranian secret service, who smuggle Meir back to Iran, where he is imprisoned, tortured, and prepared for a show trial. What they don’t know is that Meir was in New York to recruit Dewey Andreas for a secret operation.

The newly sworn in vice president of the United States has a problem. Her son, off in college, doesn't care for his security detail. So when spring break comes around, he slips away from his bodyguard, picks up his best friend, and heads to Mexico for an intended week of sun, sand, women, and hoped-for debauchery. But when he arrives at the airport, a team of well-armed kidnappers grab both him and his friend and escape. Now they're demanding that an exorbitant ransom be paid in only a few hours - and if it's not, both boys will be killed.  

Dewey Andreas, former Delta and current intelligence agent, is sidelined. Still drowning in grief after the tragic murder of his fiancee, Dewey has seemingly lost his focus, his edge, and the confidence of his superiors. A high-level Russian hacker, known only as Cloud, is believed to be behind a series of major terror operations, and the mission is to capture and render Cloud harmless. At the same time, a backup team is sent after the only known associate of Cloud, a ballerina believed to be his girlfriend.

Der russische Hacker Cloud hat eine Nuklearwaffe in seinen Besitz gebracht. Mithilfe von Dschihadisten will er sie mit einem Frachtschiff nach Amerika schaffen, um an der Ostküste eine Großstadt dem Erdboden gleichzumachen. Indessen trauert Dewey Andreas, der frühere Delta und CIA-Agent, um seine ermordete Verlobte. Erst der drohende Angriff auf sein Heimatland zwingt ihn, den Schmerz zu vergessen und trotz Zweifeln an seinen Vorgesetzten alle Reserven zu mobilisieren, um die Bombe abzufangen. Doch Dewey hat nicht mit Clouds Finesse gerechnet und tappt in die Falle. Die Katastrophe nimmt ihren Lauf.

Eine Gruppe mächtiger Leute aus Politik, Militär und Wirtschaft versucht die Kontrolle über die US-Regierung zu übernehmen. Dafür werden die Menschen, die ihnen im Weg stehen, gnadenlos entfernt - und durch Marionetten ersetzt. Danach soll ein blutiger Krieg beginnen, mit unvorstellbaren Auswirkungen für die gesamte Welt. Agent Dewey Andreas wird nach Paris geschickt, um den US-Außenminister zu schützen. Was als einfache Mission beginnt, geht mächtig schief. Die Verschwörer haben einen Killer auf den Minister angesetzt. Und den Mord wollen sie Dewey in die Schuhe schieben.

Mit einem milliardenschweren, geheimen Waffenprogramm will das Pentagon für klare Machtverhältnisse im Nahen Osten sorgen. Doch der Versuch geht nach hinten los: Tristan Nazir, der Empfänger der Zahlungen, treibt ein doppeltes Spiel mit den USA. Er nutzt das Geld zur Gründung einer Terrormiliz des Islamischen Staats. Ex-Delta Dewey Andreas wird nach Syrien geschickt, um Details über den Verrat ans Licht zu bringen - bis seine Tarnung auffliegt. In letzter Sekunde gelingt es ihm, Einzelheiten nach Amerika zu übermitteln.

Dewey Andreas soll sterben... Als Dewey die Identität eines Maulwurfs in den höchsten Kreisen des israelischen Mossad aufdeckt, löst er eine gefährlichere Kettenreaktion aus. Fao Bhang, Leiter des chinesischen Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit, reagiert auf die brutale Beseitigung von Chinas wichtigstem Spion, indem er unverzüglich ein Killerteam auf den Verantwortlichen ansetzt... Egal wie die Chancen stehen, Dewey wird kämpfen müssen - und erlebt die schlimmsten Momente seines Lebens. Knallharte Politaction von einem Kenner der Materie: Ben Coes war unter Präsident Reagan im Weißen Haus tätig.

Eine teuflische Verschwörung. Das Ziel: die Vernichtung der USA. Eine Bohrinsel im Pazifik wird in die Luft gesprengt, einige Tage später der weltgrößte hydroelektrische Staudamm vor der kanadischen Küste. Durch ihre Zerstörung wird der Strom in den USA knapp. In Politik und Wirtschaft bricht Chaos aus. Doch dies ist erst der Anfang einer beispiellosen Terrorserie... Der frühere Elitesoldat Dewey Andreas überlebt einen der Anschläge. Er macht sich auf, die Verantwortlichen zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen.

Der wacklige Frieden zwischen Pakistan und Indien gerät durch ein diplomatisches Missverständnis ins Wanken. Religiöse Fanatiker aus dem Regierungsumfeld verlieren die Nerven und drohen, eine Atombombe zu zünden. Der frühere US-Elitesoldat Dewey Andreas muss im Auftrag des Präsidenten die Welt retten. Seine Aufgabe: Den pakistanischen Präsidenten aus dem Amt zu heben, um eine weltweite Nuklearkatastrophe zu verhindern.
