The Golden Pelican

As Major Adam Grant settles into his new position as Adjutant to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Supreme Leader of North Korea Kim Il-un decides to rattle his saber, again. This time his threats are real. He has set a date to launch an intercontinental nuclear warhead missile at Denver. The U.S. knows it cannot openly engage in a pre-emptive strike because the repercussions would be devastating on a worldwide scale. In a race against time and with limited options, Major Grant is recruited for his first covert operation with the Central Intelligence Agency, where he meets Erin O'Leary, a CIA lifer. Together they lead a team on the Trojan Horse Project.
