The world's balance of power is about to shift dangerously as the ultimate weapon nears completion in a secret facility in the heart of the desert.

And one man—a razor-sharp master of disguise, deceit, and triple-cross—must somehow do the impossible: steal 200 tons of uranium without any of the other players discovering the theft.

The clock is ticking. And the price of failure is Apocalypse.
