Cole is a repo man of the highest caliber, repossessing heavily guarded mega yachts from billionaires, private planes from captains of industry, and everything in-between. If it’s got an engine, he can drive it, ride it, or fly it straight out from under the nose of an army of guards, for a 10% fee.

But now he’s been brought the job of a lifetime—an impossible job. One that will bring him face to face with the highest stakes. The Russians have stolen aeronautical military secrets from China, France, Germany, the UK, and the US to Frankenstein together the ultimate bleeding edge, next-gen fighter jet: the Spearhead.

There are only three of them in existence. They are an absolute force of nature dominating every global hotspot from Syria to Ukraine. Cole’s been hired to steal one… and destroy the other two. And at a price of $500 million each, his fee is a cool $50 million.

But this isn’t a repo. This is outright theft. And failure doesn’t mean jail time and fines—it means a bullet to the back of the head.
