Description
Donovan Nash's good deed leads to terror with horrifying repercussions
While on a routine Eco-Watch flight above northern Canada to study one of the most powerful solar flares in history, Donovan Nash and Michael Ross narrowly miss colliding with another aircraft a Boeing 737 that's not supposed to be there. With the mysterious 737 trailing smoke, Donovan and Michael watch as the stricken aircraft makes an emergency landing on a frozen lake.
As the Boeing breaks through the ice and begins to sink, a figure escapes into the frigid water and manages to climb up onto the ice. Donovan reaches the lone survivor and discovers it's a young woman. Just before she blacks out, she whispers a dire warning, "Don't let them know I'm alive they'll kill everyone."
Seconds to Midnight plunges Donovan Nash and the Eco-Watch team into a fight for their lives. While Donovan searches for answers at the bottom of a frozen lake in Canada, his wife, Lauren, runs from operatives embedded in the top levels of the Russian Government.
With communication in the Northern Hemisphere crippled by the massive solar storm, Donovan, Michael, and Lauren battle for each second-as the clock ticks toward a possible Armageddon.

Reviews
"Part Stone Barrington, part Dirk Pitt (though a happily married version), Donovan Nash leads the scientific research organization Eco-Watch into another thrilling adventure (following Pegasus Down , 2016). While flying over northern Canada to gather information about solar flares, Nash and his team see a Boeing 737 attempt to make an emergency landing in order for them to rescue the crash's lone survivor from the icy waters. In and out of consciousness, the woman whispers to Nash, "Don't let them know I'm alivethey'll kill everyone." Never one to shy away from a challenge, Nash races to get to the bottom of the crash. Arms dealers, spies, sex traffickers, and Russian nationalists are all somehow tied to this woman, to what happened on that plane, and to the fate of the world as we know it. A fast, splashy adventure with tons of gadgets, fake IDs, and last-minute, life-saving bolts through the doors of the American embassy." Booklist
