- Thriller
- Adventure
Two nuclear powers. One orchestrator of chaos. A region on the edge of oblivion. In the high-stakes world of South Asian geopolitics, a single spark can ignite a firestorm. For Indian diplomat Ananya Rao, that spark was a Kabul bomb that stole her future. For Pakistani fighter pilot Sohail Mirza, it is the constant shadow of a family lost to violence. They are warriors on opposite sides of a blood-soaked border, yet they hunt the same phantom: a mercenary known as Ahab. But Ahab is merely the weapon. The hand that wields it belongs to Darian Blackwood, a man who views nations as chess pieces and war as a profit margin. From the skies over Kashmir to the diplomatic halls of Istanbul, Ananya and Sohail must navigate a labyrinth of cyber warfare, water weaponisation, and state-sponsored terror. As armies mobilise and the 72-hour countdown to total annihilation begins, an unlikely alliance is forged. To stop the cycle of retaliation, they must risk everything to establish SENTRY—a revolutionary directive that could be the world's last shield against engineered catastrophe. In a race where the truth is the first casualty, can they neutralise the threat before the borders dissolve in nuclear light? Shakil R. Sheikh delivers a blistering, high-octane thriller that redefines the modern espionage epic.
