Transworld Digital, 2026

THE NEW LUKE CARLTON THRILLER. In the dying light of an Arctic afternoon a monstrous black shape slips beneath the waters of Murmansk bay. Murmansk in the Arctic Circle is where the Russian navy's fleet of nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed submarines is based - and the Novorussiya is one of Russia's most advanced nuclear submarines . . . With a high-ranking mole deep inside Russia's FSB, Britain's security services are now convinced that Russia is poised to use a terrifying, game-changing device. As the West goes into a state of high alert, MI6 operative Luke Carlton is dropped into the hot zone that is the Finnish-Russian border. His mission to secure the safe extraction of this vital MI6 asset and secure the intel he has in his possession, because it seems that we could be staring Armageddon in the face. It's then that things start to go devastatingly wrong . . . Breathlessly exciting, brilliantly authentic and unnervingly prescient, Ballistic is the new Luke Carlton thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author and journalist who has his finger on the pulse of 21st century geo-politics and knows where the dangerous flashpoints are likely to be . . .
