A retired British spy, Gabriel Hobbs and an American CIA boss, John Penn ally delicately with Francis Whyte, a notorious assassin who grew up in Nigeria to avert the birth of World War III.

World War III is imminent; creatures of the night pull to walk the day; love ties face severance; a war that cannot be won has to be fought.
