Then: First Lieutenant Sean Elliott and nine other mixed-service US soldiers on a convoy in Afghanistan suddenly found themselves and their MRAP vehicle thrown back to Earth’s Paleolithic Age.

The U.S. dollar’s dominance seems under threat. The near collapse of the U.S. financial system in 2008-2009, political paralysis that has blocked effective policymaking, and emerging competitors such as the Chinese renminbi have heightened speculation about the dollar’s looming displacement as the main reserve currency. Yet, as The Dollar Trap powerfully argues, the financial crisis, a dysfunctional international monetary system, and U.S. policies have paradoxically strengthened the dollar’s importance.

Jack Noble thought the mission was simple—track the target, gather intel, and get out clean. But nothing is ever simple. Not for Jack.

From covert black sites in the Mediterranean to the underworld of Berlin, Jack must outmaneuver operatives who know his every move.

Jack Noble was just passing through—a small town, a broken-down Jeep, and a quiet place to lay low. But small towns have secrets, and this one is about to explode. A chance encounter with an old ally and a barroom brawl with the town's most dangerous men light the fuse on a powder keg of corruption, betrayal, and blood.

The rules were simple: complete the mission, disappear, and stay out of sight. But rules were never Jack Noble’s strong suit. When a deadly betrayal leaves him framed for murder, he finds himself hunted by enemies on both sides of the law. Every escape route is cut off. Every ally is compromised. But Jack doesn’t run. Not from men like these. From the murky back alleys of Europe to covert operations that lead him into the heart of a conspiracy, Jack sets out to clear his name the only way he knows how—by taking down the men who put him in their crosshairs.
