The biggest, baddest Slater novel yet and the third book in a pulse-pounding series from Matt Rogers, a million-copy bestseller and 'a bright new talent shaking up the genre' (Candice Fox). Aboard a luxury passenger train in the desolate Russian Far East, Slater heads for the port city of Vladivostok with a mysterious grudge. After traumatic past events, he was reluctant to return to the region, but he’s got unfinished business to attend to. Terrified passengers, secret police, and shadowy underworld figures are just the beginning. Arriving in Vladivostok, he finds something wretched – something dark, twisted and shocking. In a barren corner of the Medved Shipbuilding Plant, the largest nuclear-powered icebreaker in the world is being constructed, protected by an army of mercenaries. Slater sets to work digging for the truth and what he finds puts him on a collision course with half the city. Because when the carnage reaches its apex, the consequences reveal themselves, larger and more daunting than anything he’s ever seen before. This time, the stakes are incomprehensible.
