Drawn into a labyrinth of intrigue, King discovers a scheme to topple the U.S. government and forge a new global empire. AND AN EMPIRE WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES. To stop a war that could destroy civilization, King and the Chess Team infiltrate the frozen Russian wilderness, battle the elements and inhuman abominations spawned in Cold War laboratories, and go head-to-head with a powerful enemy, ascending from the pages of history.
