Summary: Wanting a peaceful life, Dewey Andreas moved to rural Australia, far from the turbulent forces that he once fought against. But his enemies are bent on revenge, and--having found him--sent a group of assassins, forcing Dewey to flee once again. Meanwhile, Pakistan is embroiled in a rapidly escalating conflict with India--with the latter only days from resorting to a nuclear response. Jessica Tanzer has been sent to restore the fragile peace to the region. She has only one viable option: to execute a coup d'état in Pakistan. And there's only one man to lead the team: Dewey Andreas. If, that is, Jessica can even get to Dewey, and if Dewey can get out of Australia alive.

Summary: "Wanting only a peaceful, obscure life, Dewey Andreas has gone to rural Australia, far from turbulent forces that he once fought against. But powerful men, seeking revenge, have been scouring the earth looking for Dewey. And now, they've finally found him - forcing Dewey to abandon his home and to fight for his life against a very well armed, well trained group of assassins. Meanwhile, a radical cleric has been elected president of Pakistan and, upon taking power, sets off a rapidly escalating conflict with India. As the situation spins quickly out of control, it becomes clear that India is only days from resorting to a nuclear response, one that will have unimaginably disasterous results for the world at large. With only days to head this off, the President sends in his best people, including Jessica Tanzer, to do whatever it takes to restore the fragile peace to the region. Tanzer has only one viable option - to set up and execute a coup d'etat in Pakistan - and only one man in mind to lead the team that will try to pull off this almost unimaginable task in the nerve-wrackingly short time frame, Dewey Andreas. If, that is, Jessica can even get to Dewey and if Dewey can get out of Australia alive.."--
