Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author David Hagberg pits The Expediter's Kirk McGarvey against people who mean to destroy our future in Abyss
It's a pleasant summer afternoon in the Gulf Stream, twenty-five miles off Hutchinson Island on Florida's east coast. NOAA scientist Dr. Eve Larsen is about to prove she has the answers to global warming, and the solution to stopping killer storms across the planet. She is a part of a multi-trillion dollar, multinational project to farm clean, endless energy from the oceans' currents--and alter the planet's weather for the better.
At that moment, contract killer Brian DeCamp walks into the Hutchinson Island Nuclear Power Station, aiming to cause a meltdown so catastrophic it'll make Chernobyl seem like nothing. Security cam footage leads to an intervention by legendary former CIA director Kirk McGarvey, who manages to thwart the catastrophe... but the failed sabotage sets off a chain of events more terrifying than McGarvey could ever have imagined. With Big Oil ruthlessly hunting for profit after the BP disaster in the Gulf, the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In 2010's The Cabal, former CIA director Kirk McGarvey suffered the loss of his immediate family. His CIA agent son-in-law, Todd, was murdered, then McGarvey's wife and daughter were killed by an IED that exploded at Todd's Arlington Cemetery funeral. After avenging their deaths, McGarvey retreated to a lonely island to grieve. Now, in Hagberg's solid if overlong 15th Kirk McGarvey adventure, McGarvey, who was once a CIA assassin, is back in the real world helping train others in the deadly arts. When villains sabotage a science experiment involving giant undersea impellers able to generate enough electricity to do away with America's reliance on foreign oil, McGarvey investigates. This new technology, developed by Dr. Eve Larsen, threatens to economically gut the world's oil producers, so trouble is in store for Eve, and only McGarvey can keep her and her innovative technology alive. Readers will cheer as the doughty McGarvey puts aside his personal problems, shoulders the load, and soldiers on.
