Beneath the Arctic ice lies the world's largest untapped oil reserve - and an exiled prince willing to crack open the ocean floor to claim it, even if it takes the world down with him.
For fans of Tom Clancy's geopolitical intrigue, Michael Crichton's environmental stakes, and the covert operations intensity of Vince Flynn and Mark Greaney. Beyond All Measure takes CIA operative Blake MacKay and Canadian intelligence agent Evelyn Cathey from the fjords of Norway to the edge of the North Pole - chasing a conspiracy that could trigger a catastrophe no government is prepared for.When scientist Richard Cathey discovers the reserve from his Arctic drill ship, he doesn't know he's already been found. An exiled Saudi prince named Awadi Salib has his own plans for that oil - and the stolen research submarine to make them happen.
The problem: the reserve sits directly atop a massive magma chamber. Drill into it wrong, and coastal cities flood. The planet destabilizes. Millions die.
Richard's sister Evelyn - a CSIS operative - races to unravel the conspiracy before it's too late. Alongside CIA operative Blake MacKay, she tracks Salib from the Faroe Islands to the fjords of Norway and into the frozen heart of the Arctic, where mercenaries are closing in and every government on Earth is one wrong move from catastrophe.
One submarine. One drill. One shot to stop it - at the top of the world.
Beyond All Measure is a geopolitical espionage thriller built for readers who want Tom Clancy-scale stakes, Crichton-style environmental dread, and an operative who never stops moving.
