TERMINAL VELOCITY: AFTERBURN A rogue nuclear operative. A countdown to catastrophe. And a mission that should never have existed.
David McGovern's first field assignment was never supposed to spiral into a global crisis. But when two nuclear bombs fall into the hands of the ruthless dictator Santiago, David is thrust into a deadly chase across borders, betrayals, and buried truths. What begins as a mission of retrieval becomes a brutal game of survival-one where trust is scarce, and every decision carries devastating consequences.
With seconds to spare, David boards an escaping helicopter carrying the final bomb, forcing a violent confrontation in mid-air. The fallout of his choices leaves him disavowed, stripped of his career-but not before proving that even when the clock runs out, there's still time to change everything.
But the past doesn't stay buried.
Haunted by the chaos he survived, David is pulled back into a world that feels too familiar. A cryptic message surfaces. Names reappear. Patterns return. And someone out there knows exactly what he's capable of.
This time, the deception runs deeper. The stakes reach further. And the cost of knowing too much may be more than David can afford.
A relentless, high-stakes thriller, Terminal Velocity: Afterburn delivers cinematic action, moral reckoning, and psychological warfare-proving that the most dangerous enemy isn't the one you chase. It's the one that never stopped watching.
