He walked away from hostage negotiation for good. Then a stranger seized a Manhattan skyscraper, and would talk to no one else.

Terminal Rage is an international espionage thriller about Alexander Blackwell, a retired FBI hostage negotiator pulled back into service when a mysterious man takes over a Manhattan office tower and demands to speak only to him.

The FBI finds Blackwell on a tiny Caribbean island. As the deadline closes in, he realizes the only way to save the hostages is to work out who this enigmatic man really is, and why he asked for Blackwell by name. What he uncovers is a conspiracy reaching the highest levels of government, from New York to an Egyptian prison, that threatens to destroy his life a second time.
