from the box cover:
"Nobel laureate, financier, and philanthropist Peter Novak--a billionaire committed to fostering global democracy through his Liberty Foundation--has been captured by the Caliph, a near-mythical terrorist who plans to execute him in a matter of days.
Running out of time and hope, Novak's people trun to a man with a history of defeating impossible odds: Paul Janson. For decades, Janson was a legendary covert operative and assassin. Now he has retired, and nothing could lure him back--nothing except Peter Novak, who once saved Janson's life.
Backed by the resources of the Liberty Foundation, Janson assembles a crack extraction team to rescue Novak. But the operation goes horribly wrong and Janson is marked for death.
Now he is running for his life, pursued by Jessica Kincaid, an agent who, as a student of Janson's own tactics, can anticipate his every move. To survive, Janson must outrace a conspiracy that has gone beyond the control of its creators. To win, he must counter it with a conspiracy of his own. Janson's only hope is to uncover the truth behind these events--a secret that has the power to foment wars, topple governments, and change the course of history."
