A techno-thriller about the hacking of Bitcoin crytpos. MI6 and the Russian FSB hunt for the cryptomistress across Europe. A terrorist with links to Arab royal families appears, leading to a horrific climax

The terrorist Abu ben-Zhair is on the cusp of realising his vision to destroy the West and cow the East, thereby succeeding in his avowed 'Cause of All Causes' to establish a Caliphate which rules half the world. In this terror thriller, Steve Baldwin is sent into Algeria with only Ellie Williams (MI6) to support him - and GCHQ hackers to guide them. The gritty covert action and espionage moves from Gibraltar to Algeria - and onward across the Atlantic Ocean. Ben-Zhair has identified one critical point on the earth's surface where one determined terrorist with resources and imagination can trigger disaster on a global scale - and he has the weapon for this purpose. In the murky world of counter-intelligence, trust is a tradable commodity and the Geo-political turf wars continue while ben-Zhair moves towards his climactic attack on the US and Europe. Action and adventure moves to a terrifying close and the international political maneuvering continues - up to the very last seconds.
