Hostile Extraction

The next world war won't start by mistake—it's already on the calendar.

When CIA asset Laila Malik vanishes mid-operation, David Shaw and his Invictus team launch a desperate hunt to find her. But the search for the assassin-turned-spy exposes a dark truth built on power, profit, and blood.

A covert alliance of global elites is engineering war for gain. Ukraine is their latest payday. And Laila Malik is trapped at the center.

As these hidden players manipulate governments, defense giants, and intelligence networks, they push nations toward open conflict—fueling chaos to build their empires and cash in on the carnage.

But as Shaw closes in, every advantage turns against him. Compromised, cut off, and caught in the crossfire, he must rescue Malik and tear through the conspiracy before the architects of war ignite the fuse that will set the world on fire.
