Reports about U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine inspired this chilling thriller and a terrifying question:

When Russia invaded Ukraine, what happened to the deadly infectious agents stored inside those laboratories?

M.H. Sargent transforms that question into a gripping, high-stakes adventure.

Ukrainian scientist Andrey Goraya saw the war coming. Before the first missile struck, he escaped to Europe with his wife and young daughter.

But he didn't leave empty-handed.

Locked inside his mind is the formula for a potentially devastating engineered virus-knowledge worth billions to governments, intelligence agencies, terrorists, and criminal syndicates alike.

To prevent the formula from falling into the wrong hands, a covert intelligence organization known as FROG launches a simple mission: eliminate Goraya before he can sell his deadly secret.

But when Goraya's daughter is kidnapped, everything changes. FROG's elite operatives are thrust into a deadly race for the formula-one that ruthless enemies will do anything to win.

The prize is ultimate power.

The cost could be humanity itself.
