Flashpoint Pyongyang

Flashpoint Pyongyang

By Daniel Walter Tanner

The Supreme Leader is dead. The border is a powder keg. And twelve nuclear warheads are up for grabs.

When a sudden, fatal stroke decapitates the North Korean regime, the Demilitarized Zone instantly transforms from a frozen geopolitical standoff into a volatile theater of civil war.

Deep inside Sector 4, CIA Special Activities Center operator Marcus Vance is running a routine, low-footprint reconnaissance mission when emergency military overrides crackle through his comms. Across the border, North Korean armored divisions are turning their gun barrels inward, and a faction of fanatical warlords is moving to secure Site 31-a subterranean central vault housing twelve mobile nuclear warheads.

With eighty thousand Chinese troops massing across the Yalu River to seize the weapons first, and a panicked Pentagon preparing a devastating pre-emptive bombing run, Washington and Seoul are running out of time.

Enter Dr. Sun-Hee Cho, the brilliant nuclear physicist who designed the facility's security interlocks. Holding the master firmware override on a titanium-encased flash drive, she is desperate to escape with her fourteen-year-old daughter before General Pak's enforcers-or China's ruthless MSS special operators-silence them permanently.

Vance is ordered to ghost across the border on a suicide insertion to extract them. Teamed up with elite South Korean 707th operative Captain Kang "Viper" Min-Soo, Vance must navigate a three-way war zone of treacherous mountain terrain, double-crosses, and high-stakes tradecraft where a single misstep means nuclear annihilation.

With the clock ticking down to a devastating air strike, can Vance smuggle the physicist out alive-or will the peninsula become a nuclear wasteland?
