Overview

Fresh off the harrowing events of The Golden Hour, State Department crisis manager Judd Ryker is suddenly thrown into a quickly developing emergency in Zimbabwe, where a long-time strongman is being challenged for the presidency. Rumours are flying furiously: armed gangs, military crackdowns, shady outside money pouring in and, most disturbing, reports of highly enriched uranium leaking into the market. And that's all before Ryker even lands in the country. It gets much worse after that. If he can't get control, a lot of people are going to die.
