America finds itself at another crossroad. A national election, now just two months old, re-orders the direction for the country. Incoming President Sam Kirklyn won with a thin electoral victory-bringing a far-left progressive agenda forward. The message was not lost on America's foes, including General Secretary Kim-Jae Lee, leader of North Korea. A failed missile launch from the NOKO Wonsan site is seen as the latest attempt to perfect its missile program. The launch was in fact a first-strike attack on the US. The attack plan targets the US as NOKO demands a re-unification with the South or face a massive invasion. Lee reasons the new Kirklyn administration would be unable to respond for weeks, or longer, only to be embroiled in a new Korean war. The stakes are high. Even a weakened US military could do massive damage. A quick capitulation by the South would deter the US from halting the takeover. Lee believes President Kirklyn will shun a war posture, even when attacked. Lee feels China would be silent once the South surrenders. With China as a "passive supporter" a US challenge would endanger its economic ties with China.The initial nuke-tipped rocket explodes a minute after launch-falling into the Sea of Japan. The nuke nosecone falls in the water and is snagged in a fishing trawler's nets. The trawler seeks help at sea from a salvage ship, owned by Graylle Cassidy. He recognizes the package and alerts his friend, Declan, Dalton Crusoe's half-brother. Dalton sees a unique opportunity: covertly modify the warhead controls and return it to the NOKO navy searching for debris. Later, remotely detonate it at the Wonsan missile site, appearing as a self-imposed nuclear tragedy by Lee. Dalton convinces the President to employ the deception operation.
