About the Book "In the year 2088, the doomsday clock inches towards midnight. The Command, synonymously the World Destroyer, is on the loose. Not even Lamont Cranston, the Shadow's alter ego, knows who he is, but the clock is ticking as people around the world drop dead by the day, with the attack at the World's Fair the most sinister yet. It's up The Shadow and his band of allies to stop the end of the world"-- Book Synopsis
In this action-packed story from a New York Times bestselling author, a ruthless killer is seeking to overturn the world order--and our only hope is vigilante justice.
Since Lamont Cranston--known to a select few as the Shadow--defeated Shiwan Khan and ended his reign of terror over New York one year ago, the city has started to regenerate.
But there is evil brewing elsewhere. And this time the entire world is under threat.
Which is why Lamont has scoured the globe to assemble a team with unmatched talent. Only their combined powers can foil an enemy with ambitions and abilities beyond anyone's deepest fears.
As their mission takes them across the globe and into the highest corridors of power--pushing them beyond their limits--can justice prevail?
