Publisher Description
General Garrett Sinclair undertakes a rogue mission in the Sahara Desert to thwart an international nuclear threat in Total Empire, an explosive thriller from A. J. Tata.
When Sergeant Major Sylvester “Sly” Morgan is killed on a mission, his daughter, Zoey, tells General Garrett Sinclair that her father's death wasn’t random. Morgan had recorded a high-level meeting between Chinese, American, and French diplomats as they spoke about a plan for a new global government.
The “Chinese-U.S. Partnership”, or CUSP, intends to combine the world’s two largest economies and militaries to usher in a new era of partnership and leadership. But China’s offer has a deadline and penalties for noncompliance. As a safeguard, China has five high-tech hypersonic glide vehicles armed with nuclear weapons orbiting the earth ready to strike. When Zoey disappears in Africa, seemingly while in pursuit of her father’s killer, Sinclair and Dagger Team are caught off-guard as they scramble to catch up.
Without authorization or support from his government, Sinclair takes his team into the maw of the Saharan death pit, the Eye of Africa. In what will prove to be his most dangerous mission yet, Sinclair must overcome tremendous odds, with the threat of nuclear Armageddon hanging in the balance.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Tata's impressive sequel to 2021's Chasing the Lion finds Gen. Garrett Sinclair, as head of Task Force Dagger, at an obscure terrain feature called the Eye of Africa in the Sahara Desert. His regular team is with him, including Command Sgt. Maj. Sylvester Morgan, at the behest of U.S. president Kim Campbell; they're tasked with rescuing a kidnapped American missionary, "who also happened to be a large donor to her campaign." The mission is successful, but Morgan is decapitated. When Morgan's daughter, Zoe Morgan, who happens to be Sinclair's goddaughter, is kidnapped in the same area of the Sahara, Sinclair and the surviving members of the team go rogue to rescue her. Intelligence reveals the possibility that five Chinese nukes may be hidden in the Eye and that the person who killed Morgan, known as the Executioner, is working with the Chinese and the French. Tata incorporates a bit of Tom Clancy with hypersonic super weapons and gives a nod to Clive Cussler with an archaeological find said to be the remains of Atlantis. Lots of credible action, plenty of government traitors, and shocking losses fuel the action. Tata continues to rise among the ranks of today's top military action writers.
