On a remote island in the Canadian Arctic, researchers
discover the wreckage of a mysterious World War II-era
aircraft, a discovery that forces the Russian Federation
into a shocking admission. The unmarked plane is a Soviet
strategic bomber that disappeared with its crew more than
fifty years ago while carrying two metric tons of
weaponized anthrax.
Desperate to prevent a political and
diplomatic firestorm, the U.S. president dispatches a
Covert-One team led by Lieutenant Colonel Jon Smith to the
crash site. But others have reached the frigid, windswept
island first, including an international arms dealer and
his crew of vicious mercenaries. As for the Russians, they
are lying: a second, even deadlier secret rests within the
hulk of the lost bomber, a secret the Russians are willing
to kill to protect. Trapped in a polar wilderness, Smith
and his team find themselves fighting a savage war on two
front--against an enemy they can see and another hiding
within their own ranks.
