John Masen discovers a terrible secret while playing online games at the Barn—the CIA's data storage facility. His boss starts acting strange, and the enigmatic Mr. Black once again enters his life. Meanwhile, a new technology that will change the course of human history is finally being assembled for testing. Only there's a problem with security. China is ramping up its cyber warfare unit, and North Korea’s plans of building an ICBM capable of reaching Washington is within reach.

It's easier to run than stay when you don't know who to trust. But Masen never did easy.

The first book in a new Spy Thriller trilogy that spans continents, cutting-edge technology, and the covert world of espionage.
