The Auroral Contingency

"A weapon that controls the weather. A billionaire with no conscience."

Deep in Siberia, one man has figured out how to weaponize nature itself. Using a classified Auroral Array, Nikoli Petrovich can trigger catastrophic weather events — and sell the calm at a premium. Major cities in flames. Thousands dead. And every government on Earth scrambling to understand what they're facing before another one burns.

The opening chapter is a snowmobile chase through Siberia that ends with a jaw-dropping twist. It only gets faster from there. Nikoli Petrovich has turned the Earth's own electromagnetic systems into a weapon — and he's been using it for years, collecting payment from the chaos. By the time the CIA understands what they're looking at, he's already chosen the next city.

Sofia Kuzma was never supposed to see what she saw. A scientist embedded in Petrovich's Siberian operation, she discovers the horrifying scale of his plan — and the list of cities already marked. When she risks everything to escape and expose him, his assassins pursue her through the frozen streets of Moscow. She has one destination: the U.S. Embassy. One chance to survive.

Enter Blake MacKay. His mission: protect Sofia, extract the intelligence, and dismantle Petrovich's operation before the next trigger is pulled. But the deeper he pushes into Petrovich's network, the clearer it becomes — this conspiracy doesn't stop in Siberia. It runs straight through the halls of power in Moscow, and maybe further.

They're running out of time. Running out of allies. And running out of places to hide.

The technological dread of Michael Crichton, the cold-war tension of Robert Ludlum, and the relentless operative drive of Vince Flynn — in a single, unputdownable thriller that starts at a sprint and never stops.

"The kind of thriller you don't put down"
