Johannes Krieger's message is as clear as his madness: unless his insane demands are met, the entire East Coast of the United States will be reduced to a desolate wasteland of craters within craters, uninhabitable for centuries.

The jackbooted reichmaster has mined Washington and the other capitals of the world with nuclear warheads. The U.S. government is his hostage. In his final play for power, Krieger holds all the cards except one - a maverick jack named Dan Track.

Track stalks his vermin prey to the summit of the world's proudest symbol of democracy and freedom, the Capitol Dome. Only one man will walk away, and only one way of life will triumph. Dan Track will do what it takes to win. Whatever it takes!
