The Brink: A Geopolitical Espionage Thriller

By Max Sinclair

Taiwan falls. Dresden burns. The U.S. president is kidnapped. How the hell did we get here?
On May 15, 2027, the world changes forever. As China invades Taiwan and Russia drops a nuclear bomb on Dresden, the United States is thrown into chaos. With global war on the horizon, the president vanishes--taken hostage in Moscow.
Veteran assassin Sam Saxon is pulled from the shadows under direct executive orders, tasked with preventing the unthinkable. Barrett Johnson, a former detective turned covert operative, is on a desperate mission to bring the president home before it's too late. Meanwhile, billionaire Mitchell Roth, yanked from the private sector and forced into the role of Federal Reserve Chairman, fights to stabilize an economy teetering on collapse.
As the world edges toward destruction, these three men are thrust into a battle for survival--where loyalties are tested, enemies are everywhere, and one wrong move could ignite World War III.
The first shot has been fired. The last may end the world.
An action-packed and utterly gripping globetrotting thriller--for fans of Tom Clancy's The Hunt for Red October, Mark Greaney's The Gray Man, Brad Thor's Black Ice, and Vince Flynn's Transfer of Power.
