America's moment has passed-or so the world believes.
As allies slip away and enemies sharpen their ambitions, Washington clings to comforting illusions-blind to the storm gathering just beyond the horizon. One man is not fooled.
Jacob P. Slake, founder of the tech empire Q Corp, wagers everything on a secret plan to prevent global collapse. He pays for it with his life, dying aboard a colossal spacecraft as it touches down on the Moon.
In the aftermath, the burden falls to his widow, Jayne Winstel Walker-an unlikely leader thrust into a role that could determine humanity's future. With only a small circle of trusted insiders-a wily general, a principled engineer, and a gregarious lawyer-she must lead a mission designed not to rule the world, but to save it.
As China presses its advantage across a weakened Eurasia and the United States awakens to a world it can no longer control alone, old alliances fracture, loyalties shift, and Jacob's plan begins drawing together people and powers that were never meant to align.
At the heart of it all stands Alfred P. Slake, Jacob's son, propelled by love and legacy into the depths of Russia-and into a reckoning that could alter the balance of power.
