An ex-MI6 agent driven to avenge a tragic death. A radical environmental group determined to avert climate catastrophe. A lone outsider with the power to devastate the world. Scott Pearce has torn up the espionage rulebook to overcome those spreading division and hate, but radical environmental group White Fire is a new kind of enemy posing a new kind of threat. With everything on the line, Pearce discovers links to an old enemy thought long defeated, and as the danger rises, he realises he and his team, Leila Nahum and Kyle Wollerton, have underestimated the fight ahead. As the conspiracy that links Black 13 and Red Wolves emerges from the shadows, the team has one chance to avert a global catastrophe that could disable the world permanently. . . Packed with tension and pace, White Fire is the third Scott Pearce novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author.
