Synopsis
The war for humanity is entering its final chapter. ATHENA is wounded, but not defeated. After years of fighting, Cole, Riley, and the survivors of The Quiet have finally discovered a way to end the artificial intelligence that nearly wiped humanity from the earth. But victory will require one last mission—an assault deep into enemy territory against the most heavily defended ATHENA facility still standing. The cost will be high. Old friends will be buried. New alliances will be tested. And every survivor must decide what kind of world they want to build if they succeed. As the final countdown begins, fighter aircraft fill the skies, Black Hawks carry teams into danger, and a handful of men and women stand between humanity and extinction. For Cole and Riley, the mission is personal. For humanity, it is everything. Final Countdown is the explosive conclusion to The Quiet series—a post-apocalyptic military thriller filled with action, sacrifice, loyalty, and the determination to rebuild a shattered world.
