As the Middle East's oil reserves run dry and widespread drought is devastating millions, the world's superpowers are eyeing Canada. The country's newly elected government is ill-prepared, headed up by a neophyte prime minister who is clearly a puppet. Who is pulling his strings? Curtis Munson's life depends on finding out. Entrusted with a discovery that could end the world's dependence on oil, he is now a target. Someone has already killed to keep the new energy source a secret. Rogue oil moguls? Or the same forces behind his childhood friend's unlikely success in running for Canada's highest office? CSIS agent Ellen Niiqway has been on the trail of a master spy with connections to China. Dragonclaw's hooks are everywhere, and too many trails lead straight to Munson. Now Niiqway's enlisting Munson's help. His mission: Get close to the new prime minister and find out more about his beautiful but dangerous assistant Ying Kao, who has developed an interest in a festering Munson-family tragedy-a cold-war era nuclear warhead lost in the Arctic. Munson works desperately to warn the prime minister and secure the new energy source while staying one step ahead of the assassins, but Niiqway isn't telling him everything. And the world is a pressure-cooker about to explode.

Millions of lives are at stake. The super-volcano lurking beneath the city of Naples is coming to life. When it erupts, it will destroy the city and devastate much of Europe. Politicians refuse to evacuate the area, because scientists monitoring the volatile region for the past decade insist there's no need for alarm. The volcanologist responsible for the monitoring equipment was assassinated immediately after its installation, but her son survived. Now Jeff Kingston is relying on his dead mother's research-and compelling data from a hacked website-to convince the authorities they're wrong. Anita Arniel's family lives on a Naples military base. Unless evacuated, they will die. Dodging assassins, she and Jeff scramble to untangle a web of deceit. With enemies in high places, they will risk everything on a dangerous mission that will impact the entire planet.
