He’s not the only one asking those question. The CIA want to know, so do the Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon. So does the President.
And so does the Mossad.

And when eccentric billionaire Moschid Robles recruits him from his Ivy League university and puts him to work at the ZPE Corporation, the Military Industrial Complex watch with interest. Here is a genius who can put American defense technology well ahead of her rivals and her enemies.
America’s enemies happened to want to annihilate Israel, so the Mossad are watching too.
And then Squire vanishes without a trace.
That’s when Nero calls his top agents, Alex Mason and Aila Gallin. Their instructions: find Squire.
If he is still alive.
Their search takes them half way around the world to London Kuwait and Thailand, and brings them up against the mysterious and lethal Angel Apsara, before they realize the full existential threat they are facing: Extinction C-14.
