The Brink : A Geopolitical Espionage Thriller

A geopolitical thriller where nuclear strikes and invasions push the world to the brink. Expect a hostage crisis in Moscow, black-ops kidnapping, and a Fed Chair fighting economic collapse. Taiwan falls. Dresden burns. The U.S. president is kidnapped. The world isn’t just burning. It’s about to end. In a single morning, the geopolitical order collapses. China invades Taiwan. A Russian ICBM wipes out Dresden. Global markets freefall. And when US President Christopher Walker flies to Moscow to stop the slide into Armageddon, he vanishes into enemy hands. With the nation on the brink, Mitchell Roth is dragged back into government and installed as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. His job is brutal: keep America solvent while the world tears itself apart. But money can’t rescue the President. That mission falls to Barrett Johnson and Sam Saxon, the assassin they call the Hangman. Their target isn’t a terrorist or a general—but a ghost: Veronika Shumitzky, the secret daughter of the Russian leader who’s holding the world hostage, hidden deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The plan is insane. Kidnap the daughter. Force the trade. Buy peace. If they succeed, they might stop World War III. If they fail, the last war in human history begins. Relentless, high-stakes, and impossible to put down, The Brink is the fourth book in the Barrett Johnson espionage thrillers series. Perfect for fans of The Hunt for Red October, The Gray Man, Black Ice, and Transfer of Power. _________________________________________________________ Praise for the Barrett Johnson Espionage Thrillers series: ? ? ? ? ? “What a roller coaster ride of action and thrills this story was.” ? ? ? ? ? “A financial thriller that will blow your mind!” ? ? ? ? ? “Really good characters with an amazing plot.” ? ? ? ? ? “The author has a remarkable talent for creating realistic and compelling characters, who are not afraid to cross the line between good and evil.” ? ? ? ? ? “The action of a Tarantino movie with the insight of a financial masterclass...” ? ? ? ? ? “A thrilling page-turner” ? ? ? ? ? “Well written, intricately plotted, and unforgiving”
