The president of the United States is missing.
Three years before Clinton and Patterson, another New York Times bestselling author of thirteen international thrillers, Joel C. Rosenberg, posed this chilling scenario: What if the Islamic State captured the most valuable hostage in history?
Award-winning journalist J. B. Collins, reporting from the scene of a devastating attack by ISIS terrorists in Amman, Jordan, puts the entire world on high alert--the U.S. president is missing and presumed captured.
With Israeli and Palestinian leaders critically injured and Jordan's king fighting for his life, the allies are reeling and hopes for the peace process are dashed. As the U.S. government faces a constitutional crisis and Jordan battles for its very existence, Collins must do his best to keep the world informed while working to convince the FBI that his stories are not responsible for the terror attack on the Jordanian capital. And ISIS still has chemical weapons.
Struggling to clear his name, Collins works frantically with the Secret Service to locate and rescue the leader of the free world before ISIS's threats become a catastrophic reality.

The Islamic State wants to bring about the end of days.
New York Times correspondent J. B. Collins saw the horrific evidence with his own eyes. The brutal Islamist leader Abu Khalif has already demonstrated that he's not afraid to unleash horrific destruction on his enemies. How many more will die before Khalif is stopped?
With the president of the United States missing, the eyes of the world are on Jordan. ISIS is on the move. Amman is in flames.
Brought into the inner circle of the king of Jordan, Collins is desperate to discover the fate of the president before it's too late. But there's a problem: someone is leaking secrets to ISIS. And Collins finds himself a prime suspect. Now he's in a race to clear his own name in time to prevent the unthinkable. What he encounters along the way will change him forever. Deep in the tunnels beneath an ancient city, he will come face-to-face with the true nature of evil. Whether he can overcome it in time will determine the future of a nation . . . and the destiny of his own soul.
