GHOST EFFECT: Zero Option

Our civilization has never been threatened by monsters. Only by ordinary people convinced they are doing the right thing.The Cold War is over. Someone is already engineering what comes next.On a rain-soaked highway outside Grozny, a Russian military convoy is destroyed. One officer survives - and what he saw could push Russia into war in Chechnya.In Budapest, a young activist believes she is helping build a better Europe. Instead, she steps into the path of a covert network with reach inside governments and intelligence services on both sides of the Atlantic.The intelligence world believes the operative known as Ghost died in a car crash. Attila Keller intends to keep it that way. Then the conspiracy reaches the woman and the little girl who have begun to make him visible again. Remaining dead is no longer an option.From Moscow and Budapest to Oslo and Washington, separate trails converge on Terra Nova - a doctrine that promises lasting peace through integration. Its architects do not see themselves as monsters. They see controlled violence and expendable lives as the necessary price of a better world.Keller must expose the operation without exposing himself, and decide how much of the man he has become is still allowed to survive.The first casualty will not be a nation.It will be trust.Ghost Effect: Zero Option continues the larger Terra Nova story that began in Ghost Directive: The Price of Love, but it stands fully on its own.
