Cold Zero
A vanished plane. An earth-shattering secret. A countdown to World War III.
Hemisphere Airlines Flight 777—the most advanced jetliner ever built—disappears without a trace over the North Pole. Crippled by sabotage, it crash-lands on the ice, stranding the surviving passengers in a wasteland of frigid cold and chaos.
The real storm, however, is still coming.
Hidden inside the wreckage is the prototype for a revolutionary piece of technology that could upend the balance of world power. Now Washington, Moscow, and Beijing are racing to be the first on scene to retrieve it—at any cost.
Trapped in the middle of the world’s most dangerous flashpoint are CIA operative Kasey Sheridan and former fighter pilot turned first officer, Brett Sharpe. Hunted by enemy forces, they must spirit both the device and its creator across the ice to safety—before rival superpowers turn the Arctic into a war zone.
With the clock ticking and the temperature dropping, the fate of the free world is about to be decided at the top of the globe.

Brad Thor
In a crowded field of espionage fiction, Brad Thor writes like someone who assumes the threat briefing just ended and the clock is already ticking.
Born in Chicago in 1969, Thor did not begin his career in a bunker or on a battlefield, but in classrooms and television studios. He studied creative writing, film, and television at the University of Southern California, graduating with honors, and later created and hosted the PBS travel series Traveling Lite. That early immersion in visual storytelling left its mark. His novels move with the clean precision of a well-edited scene, locations rendered sharply, action unfolding in tight, escalating beats.
