Mike Maden

    Tento autor čerpá ze svých raných zkušeností v průmyslových provozech a kombinuje je s hlubokým zájmem o historii a válčení, který jej dovedl k doktorátu v oboru politologie. Jeho odbornost v oblasti konfliktu a technologií v mezinárodních vztazích se promítá do napínavých techno-thrillerů. Píše v duchu velkých mistrů žánru a navazuje na tradici, která čtenáře vtahuje do světa špionáže a vojenských strategií. Jeho díla jsou plná akce a inteligentních zápletek, které reflektují jeho akademické znalosti.

Bývalý americký senátor Weston Rhodes, předseda vážené společnosti Marine Aerospace, má problém a čelí krizovému rozhodnutí. Obrátí se na Hendley Associates, firmu, kde pracuje jeho starý známý Paul Brown, a požádá ho o pomoc. Co ovšem Rhodes ani Brown nevědí, je skutečnost, že Hendley Associates je jen zástěrkou pro Campus, přísně tajnou americkou zpravodajskou agenturu, pro niž pracuje i Jack Ryan Jr., syn amerického prezidenta. Brown s Ryanem jsou Rhodesem vyslaní na účetní audit jedné singapurské společnosti. Paul nemá o Jackově tajné identitě ani tušení, a Jack zase neví, že Rhodes pověřil Browna tajnou misí, kterou mu zadala přímo CIA. Brown však při plnění svého úkolu čirou náhodou objeví děsivé tajemství a odhalí plán na zničení světové ekonomiky. Společně se pak Ryan s Brownem ocitnou v závodu s časem, aby zabránili globální katastrofě, a to i za cenu svého vlastního života.
