On the opposite side of the world, Colonel San Ji-Hun realizes his country is on a course that could lead to worldwide mayhem. The colonel’s fateful decision to try and eliminate the sole cause of his country’s perceived misdirection brings the reader to experience the ultimate countdown to deception.
