An international circle of killers the Matarese will undoubtedly take over the world within just two years. Only two rival spies have the power to stop them: Scofield CIA and Talaniekov KGB. They share a genius for espionage and a life of explosive terror and violence. But though these sworn enemies once vowed to terminate each other they must now become allies. Because only they possess the brutal skills and ice-cold nerves vital to their mission: destroy the Matarese.
