0347 Zulu: Legacy of the Dead - Paperback

by Laurian M. Luis (Author)

At 03:47 Zulu, the Russian president's biometrics cease.

CIA operative Elias Thorne completes his mission and walks out of the dacha. Clean. Professional. Done. He has no idea what he just activated.

Somewhere in the North Atlantic, five disguised cargo ships wake up. An autonomous nuclear system - designed to fire without human authorization if the president died - is now counting down. The only way to stop it is a biometric deactivation sequence spoken in person, aboard the master node vessel, by the one woman who built it.

There is no abort code. There is a deactivation protocol. It is not a code. It is a liturgy.

Dr. Elena Voronin has been rotting in Black Dolphin Federal Penitentiary for three years. Thorne's team has a mole. His British liaison is hunting that mole and won't stop - not for the mission, not for the countdown, not even when the evidence points somewhere no one wants to look.

The window is seventy-two hours.

0347 ZULU: Legacy of the Dead is a military and political thriller for readers of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and Daniel Silva - technically precise, institutionally honest, and relentlessly paced.

The first Elias Thorne novel.
