He's aided by a shocking secret hidden in the archives of America's oldest fraternal organization--the Society of Cincinnati--a group that once lent out its military savvy to presidents, including helping to formulate three invasion plans of what was intended to be America's 14th colony--Canada. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a race against the clock that starts in the frozen extremes of Russia and ultimately ends at the White House itself, Malone must not only battle Zorin, he must also confront a crippling fear that he's long denied, but which now jeopardizes everything.","brand":"Minotaur Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48106556686525,"sku":"BS-TC0-113856","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9781250113856-HD.jpg?v=1787007561","url":"https:\/\/boundigo.com\/products\/the-14th-colony","provider":"Boundigo Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
