Tsar — Ted Bell

As newly imperial Russia, energized by Vladimir Putin, threatens global dominance and relentless bloodshed, an ominous figure with dangerous ambitions rises from the shadows to ultimate power. Meanwhile, a mysterious killer known only as Happy the Baker brutally murders innocent Americans on command -- just a taste, the new Tsar promises, of what will happen if America interferes with Russia's plans to "reintegrate" her rogue states.

In New York Times bestselling author Ted Bell's latest explosive thriller, "larger-than-life hero" (Publishers Weekly) and swashbuckling counterspy Alex Hawke takes readers on a treacherous, page-turning mission as he races across international borders at breakneck speed to thwart the most devastating attack the world has ever seen. Gripping, thrilling, and impossible to put down, Tsar is the ultimate adventure ride from an author in a class of his own.
