Can ex-NSA agent Ava stop the Emperor’s war plans before he kills millions - and her?

There’s a new Cold War…and it’s about to erupt into World War Three.

Emperor Qin - absolute ruler, dictator for life - has one task before he succumbs to brain cancer, and it means war. Can ex-spy Ava stop him in time to save millions - and survive?

Qin will ‘unify’ China by ordering the conquest of Taiwan, a democratic nation of 23 million people just 100 miles off the mainland, a pledge the Chinese Communist Party has made every year since the 1949 Revolution.

But there’s a leak, a flood of state secrets.

They land in the lap of the former NSA analyst in Washington DC. Ava Shute hasn’t sought the material. On the contrary, she’s a most reluctant recipient.

One thing keeps Ava going: the prospect of a nuclear Armageddon. The clock is ticking as Chinese agents hunt Ava down with orders to kill.
