Billions would die if a revenge-seeking Iraqi oligarch unleashes a Soviet thermonuclear superbomb
Decades after the Soviets detonated history's largest explosion-the 50-megaton thermonuclear Czar Bomb-Iraqi oligarch Saadallah bin Shadid unearths an even larger 100-megaton superbomb they had hidden. He seeks to use the bomb to avenge his family's death in a US drone strike, enlisting North Korean engineers to restore it. In return, he will give that rogue country the bomb's plans. The blast from the superbomb could kill millions, and the immense clouds of soot erupted into the atmosphere would destroy Earth's protective ozone layer and trigger a decades-long thermonuclear winter, causing global famine. Military historian Ben Webber finds himself in possession of documents hinting at the bomb's existence. And when bin Shadid's thug murders his pregnant wife while trying to steal the documents, Ben launches his own mission of revenge against the renegade oligarch. He joins with CIA nuclear weapons expert Carrie deLong and her team, to stop bin Shadid from detonating the bomb and prevent North Korea from getting plans for a thermonuclear weapon.
