Assignment Greenland. One lie ignites the Arctic. One man can stop a war.

Major Rake Ozenna flies into America’s most remote Arctic base with two things: a friendship exchange to lead, and a plan to walk away from war for good. He brings Jessie with him, nineteen years old, the finest ivory carver in Alaska, the boy Rake raised like a brother.

Hours later Jessie is dead. Shot at point-blank range on a polished wood floor, under a banner that reads Greenland-Alaska Friendship Exchange.

Washington blames Inuit extremists. Rake knows that’s a lie. He saw the assassins moving through the whiteout, and the autopsy proves an execution.

Because someone inside the Pentagon needs this massacre. Needs the outrage. Needs a reason for America to take Greenland from Denmark and call it protection.

Now Rake is a fugitive from his own country. His only allies are a trauma surgeon he has never been able to get out of his mind, and a British baroness working the back channels of Downing Street. His only proof is a body he carried home himself.

From the ice fields north of Qaanaaq to Washington and London and back to the top of the world, Rake has days to stop a war between America and its closest allies.

He isn’t doing it for NATO. He’s doing it for a boy who carved Rake’s face into a mammoth tusk and never got to finish the eyes.

Operation Icebreaker is the fifth Rake Ozenna thriller. Every book stands alone. Perfect for readers of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor and Mark Greaney.
