No longer the ghost in the machine, Rapp is thrust into the global spotlight, making him a prime target for every terrorist organization from Jakarta to London.

With the world scrutinizing his every move and his anonymity shattered, Rapp must navigate a treacherous landscape of international intrigue and domestic betrayal to unmask this anonymous foe and once again protect the world from the brink of terror.
