A dying dictator. A rogue doomsday plan. A world on the brink.

When a Kremlin defector is assassinated in Berlin, a trail of encrypted files and burned spies reveals Operation Last Flame—a terrifying Russian contingency plan designed to ignite global chaos if Putin's regime falls. As cyberattacks spread and sleeper agents activate across Europe, CIA operatives, hackers, and rebels race to uncover a buried bioweapon that could spark World War III. But with a body double ruling in Putin's place and a fourth virus vial missing, the clock ticks toward midnight.

From Berlin to Moscow, this political thriller races through espionage, betrayal, and the chilling price of unchecked power.
