Samenvatting:

1962: A world on the brink. A secret buried deep.

As the Cuban Missile Crisis grips the globe, Americans brace for nuclear war. Fallout shelters fill. “Duck and cover” drills become routine. Fear seeps into every home. But beneath the surface, something darker is set in motion—a covert operation not meant to defend, but to deter with devastating finality. A hidden arsenal meant to humble even a modern-day Goliath.

Decades later, a routine maintenance call in the Empire State Building unearths an impossible relic: a nuclear device, intricately hidden, and still active. For Parks McCormack, a former EOD expert haunted by the ghosts of Afghanistan, this isn’t just a bomb—it’s a nightmare from the past, a Cold War “insurance policy” designed to level a city.

With tech prodigy Tyler Jallock and sharp-eyed Agent Chen at his side, Parks races to expose a conspiracy buried for generations. What they uncover is chilling: a web of hidden nuclear devices planted across the U.S.—each one a silent sentinel of sabotage.

But they’re not alone. A rogue Iranian cell sees its opportunity. A fractured Soviet network awakens. And behind it all looms the legacy of Dmitri Volkov, a defector whose desperate gamble may be the key to preventing catastrophe—or triggering it.

Shadow of Goliath is a high-stakes thriller of buried secrets, Cold War ghosts, and the razor-thin line between history and annihilation.
