A cerebral Cold War espionage thriller steeped in post-war paranoia and scientific dread.

When brilliant but reclusive radar physicist Dr. Lewis Brooke vanishes from his secure Cambridge laboratory — leaving behind only scorched instruments and a fused fountain pen — Jack Falcon, Department 7 field operative, is sent to find him before the world realises what Britain has just lost.

What begins as a disappearance fast becomes a geopolitical nightmare.

Brooke was on the verge of cracking over-the-horizon detection — a technology that could see aircraft and missile launches thousands of miles away, shattering the strategic balance of the Cold War before it has even begun. If used wisely, it could prevent war forever. In the wrong hands, it could start one without warning.

Falcon — with codebreaker Dr. Evelyn Drake and brilliant radio-man Sparks Devlin — follows a quiet trail from midnight Cambridge, to Hamburg’s black-market docks, to Soviet-run research fronts disguised as fishing co-operatives, and finally into the silent, reactivated ruins of Peenemünde — the birthplace of Hitler’s rockets.

There, Brooke is not imprisoned.

He is collaborating.

Believing he can stop the next war before it begins, he is helping the Soviets build Project Echo — a godlike global surveillance system.

Falcon’s mission is no longer retrieval.

It is interception… or termination.
