Two words. Then static.
“Nadia is —”
Mason Cole is standing in a car on the wrong side of the planet when the line dies. He hits redial. The satellite phone searches. Cycles. Finds nothing, because there is nothing left to find — the other end of that call is nine thousand kilometers away, and something has just taken it off the air.
Home is a stone house on a Greek cliff, and everyone he loves who isn’t in this car is inside it.
Half of them are children and cooks.
He can’t call. He can’t warn them. He can’t get there in under two days, and the two days are not going to be quiet ones — because in the city around him, a meeting that was supposed to change everything has just turned into a trap, and the hotel room he slept in last night no longer exists.
Nine million people. Four hundred cameras. Sixteen seconds between being seen and being identified.
Cole and his partner walk in the gaps between them, hunted through a city they don’t know, in a country where they have no friends, no papers worth anything, and no way to hear whether the people at home are still alive.
Whoever planned this knew exactly where Cole would be.
That’s the part that keeps him moving. That’s the part he can’t stop turning over.
The timing wasn’t luck.
Nobody is coming for the compound. Nobody is coming for him either. There is no agency behind them, no flag, no number to call, and the only people who could possibly help are the ones already under the guns.
Two wars, on two continents, at the same time.
One team, cut in half.
And no help coming for either end.
BROKEN CONTACT is the explosive fifth novel in the Mason Cole Thriller Series — relentless, ruthlessly authentic international suspense for readers of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and Mark Greaney.
