A hydroelectric dam blows up and the largest off-shore oil field in the hemisphere is destroyed, killing legions of Americans and bringing the country's largest energy company to its knees.

"Coes pumps new heat, blood, and flat-out action into [this] frighteningly plausible thriller."--Publishers Weekly
As intelligence and law enforcement agencies scramble to untangle the Capitana disaster and unearth those responsible, the mysterious figure of Alexander Fortuna--an agent embedded into the highest levels of American society and business--sets into play the next of many long-planned assaults on the U.S. economic infrastructure. Now it's up to Dewey to put a stop to him...before it's too late.
"Big, vivid, and authentic, at times even breathtaking. An impressive debut for Ben Coes. I was blown away."--David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of The Naked Edge and creator of Rambo
