Omschrijving

June 30, 2019. A top-secret intelligence op is activated as President Bob Emmett of the United States of America walks across the 38th parallel in North Korea to meet with supreme leader Kim Sung Jin. While the world's attention is distracted by the historic meeting, a green light activates onboard a two-man submarine off a remote North Korean beachhead, near the Chinese border, 1,411 miles north of the demilitarized zone.

No one from the US has entered North Korea without an escort since the end of the Korean Conflict. Scott Walsh—America's phantom spy known only by his call sign "The Hawk"—would be America's first. But will he survive the mission?

From the moment Walsh surreptitiously enters North Korea, he discovers everything the US Intelligence Community suspected is wrong—deadly wrong. Despite being briefed on the likelihood of finding a hypersonic nuclear missile facility, he instead finds a sophisticated underground medical complex, with human guinea pigs and an open grave site where thousands of bodies are burned. He also learns it isn't North Korea's operation. Is it a lab for testing bioweapons? Or something even more sinister? Walsh's initial findings set into motion a race to save an unsuspecting world.

John Fitzgerald delivers a visceral, heart-racing tour de force and weaves together a captivating tale of "what ifs" in a US versus China conflict that blurs the line between fact and fiction in this cautionary tale for the future.
