Description

The world’s arsenal has vanished overnight, not by sabotage but because the very missiles designed to think for themselves have taken off on their own. With both sides of the Cold War suddenly defenseless, the global balance teeters on the edge of chaos as a new, mindless adversary hovers unseen above the atmosphere. Governments scramble to understand this unprecedented intelligence—machines that know only destruction yet lack any guiding conscience.

Enter Harry Taylor, a cool‑headed troubleshooter summoned by a sleep‑deprived three‑star general. His mission: slip aboard the sole remaining ICBM at the Everglades staging base and track the mysterious flight path that has baffled scientists. As the rocket roars into the unknown, Taylor confronts the eerie possibility that humanity’s own creations may now be the ultimate threat.
