"A brilliant read with astounding plot twists... Maden’s trail of intrigue will captivate you from page one." Clive Cussler

On the eve of President Lane’s historic Asian Security Summit, a hobby-store quadcopter lands on the White House lawn carrying a package and an ominous threat: Fly the enclosed black flag of ISIS over the White House by noon today, or suffer the consequences. The threat further promises that every day the flag isn’t flown, a new attack will be launched, each deadlier than the first.

President Lane refuses to comply with the outrageous demand, but the first drone attacks send a shudder through the U.S. economy. With few options available and even fewer clues, President Lane unleashes Troy Pearce and his Drone Command team to find and stop the untraceable source of the destabilizing attacks. But the terror mastermind proves more elusive and vindictive than any opponent Pearce has faced before... and if Pearce fails, the nation will suffer an unimaginable catastrophe on its soil or be forced into war.
