One man’s illusion is another man’s reality. As Titus Black begins to dismantle the remnants of the deviant Fullgood Initiative, he invites new trouble—and this time it’s personal. Stumbling into a situation that leaves the lives of one of the Phoenix Foundation team members hanging in the balance, Black must figure out a way to stop the man hellbent on removing world leaders who won’t acquiesce to his impossible demands. With time short, Black must weigh the cost of an important decision that will either end the life of one of his closest allies or kill thousands of innocent people.

The past always has a way of messing with our future ... As Titus Black grapples with one of the secrets from his past, one of the CIA’s best assassins has gone rogue, putting the world’s tenuous peace in jeopardy once he begins his assault on some of the world’s most well-known leaders. Black gets tapped for his most dangerous mission to date, hunting down the man responsible for putting the world on the brink of war. Black must navigate the landmines of his past to preserve his standing within the Phoenix Foundation, all while trying to stop a relentless killer. But the clock is ticking and The Alliance seizes an opportunity to strengthen its position and put the U.S. intelligence agency on its back foot. With no margin for error, Black faces his deadliest foe yet. And the consequences for failure will be catastrophic for not only himself but also the rest of the planet.

With the Fullgood Initiative dismantled and Cicely Calhoun behind bars, a fight is brewing over who will fill the void and attempt a global coup—and Titus Black and the Phoenix Foundation team must stop it before it starts. From the ashes of the Fullgood Initiative, an unlikely leader has arisen from within an ancient European power to fill the void. While he has enjoyed operating in the shadows, one mistake jeopardizes his entire operation, placing him in the crosshairs of the U.S.’s most relentless black ops team. As Black and Shields navigate geopolitical landmines, secret societies, and the underbelly of European bureaucracy, they must uncover the identity of the man behind a quiet movement and exhaust every avenue to stop a looming threat to democracy and freedom the world over.

Titus Black never gives a warning when he’s about to pull the trigger. With the dogs of war clamoring for a new conflict, Vice President Charles Bullock goes missing in a brazen abduction under the dead of night. The Phoenix Foundation’s operative Titus Black and Christina Shields are tasked with bringing Bullock home with a near-impossible directive: safely recover him without anyone finding out that he was ever taken. While Black and Shields navigate landmines in the field, Phoenix Foundation director J.D. Blunt is caught up in a near-impossible mission of his own: keeping the lid on an explosive story with national security implications. In the meantime, the foundation’s top investigator Ned Edgerton digs in to find out who’s behind the plot. As allegiances are revealed, Black and Shields must complete their mission before pursuing an unlikely candidate who was behind the abduction—and stopping the perpetrator from committing an even more deadly act, one that would endanger the lives of thousands of innocent people.

No cost is too steep for Titus Black when it comes to freedom. Nearly six months have passed since Fullgood Initiative mastermind Cicely Calhoun escaped from a supermax prison in Colorado, reigniting fears of how she might strike next. And when the Phoenix Foundation receives credible intel, Titus Black and the team piece together a terrifying plot, a plot that will enable Calhoun to implement her dream of a one-world government … with her in control. In every corner of the globe, Fullgood has penetrated governments and militaries, setting the stage for a bloodless coup, one so quiet that no one will even know it’s happening before it’s already over. Despite attempts to disrupt Calhoun’s intricate plan, she remains three steps or four ahead of everyone … that is everyone except Titus Black. With a deadly contagion at Calhoun’s disposal and the power of an entire military at her fingertips, Black remains determined to end Fullgood’s dreams of a new world order and instead bring order to a chaotic world—and do it no matter what the cost.
