Behind the scenes, contact between Putin and Trump is maintained by two of the presidents' personal emissaries, who establish a special relationship of trust: Matt Sandler and Anatoly Rykov. They vacillate between loyalty and resistance as the Cairo pact increasingly proves to be a pernicious alliance of evil. Will the two succeed in saving the world from an inferno, or are they themselves merely pawns in a game in which the players are willing to go to extremes?
A thriller that leads to the abysses of unlimited power. And beyond.
