'A masterclass in spy fiction.' A mind virus that could actually happen... In this second book in the Pierce Reston series, Pierce and Kelly unite to unravel a sinister plot. When a Russian nuclear submarine surfaces in a US Naval base with no one aboard, tensions reach a boiling point. With the discovery of the scariest-yet mind control pandemic threatening to level the Earth as we know it, and a global puppet master who's reach is unlimited, Pierce is forced to go to extreme lengths. The US Vice President has been compromised, Russia begins to arm Iran, and Pierce must break every rule to stop a nuclear holocaust. The only problem is...they are very late to the game. ★★★★★ Soon to be a television series, the Pierce Reston series by Chase Hughes is a work of modern spy fiction that rivals Dan Brown, David Baldacci, and possibly the great Le Carr . 'In this stunning work, Chase not only divulges serious loopholes in the human mind, but the inner workings of psychology and behavior.' -
