The Judas Cradle

They called him the ghost in the machine. Now, he's the only one who can stop the fire. Chase "Clean Shot" Bennet isn't just a sniper. With 217 confirmed kills, he's a strategic asset, a record-holding instrument of precision deployed when the world is at its most fragile. When diplomacy fails and armies dare not move, they send Bennet. His new target is General Dmitri Volkov. A hardline nationalist who has seized control of a nuclear arsenal in Eastern Europe, Volkov's coup threatens to ignite a conflict that will consume continents. All official channels are closed. All options are exhausted. Except one. Deployed on a solo, unsanctioned mission that his own government will deny, Bennet must infiltrate hostile territory alone. Evade Volkov's elite hunters. Navigate a landscape where every shadow could hold a threat. And make the single most critical shot in history—a shot that stands between peace and nuclear fire. But this mission is different. With no backup, no support, and no hope of rescue, Bennet's legendary patience and skill will be tested like never before. Every choice he makes—from his path through the forest to the allies he trusts—will dictate the global outcome. In the crosshairs of destiny, will he become the silent hero who saved the world, or its forgotten sacrifice? The Judas Cradle is a relentless, immersive military thriller that plunges you into the high-stakes world of a lone operative facing an impossible choice. Perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and the tense, tactical action of the Sniper Elite video game series.
