When the Black Cipher, a quantum encryption device capable of collapsing every intelligence network on Earth, is stolen from a covert CIA facility in Berlin, the world edges toward informational apocalypse. For elite retrieval operative Logan Briggs, the mission is simple: get it back. Until he discovers the Cipher was designed by the one person he never expected to see again-Dr. Maya Khouri, the brilliant physicist he loved and lost.

Now Maya is on the run, accused of stealing the device she tried to destroy. Logan doesn't know if she's a traitor, a target, or the only person who can stop what's coming. As Berlin erupts into a covert battleground, Logan is hunted by rival agencies, a lethal Russian operative, and a shadowy mastermind known only as the Broker-a man who once taught Logan everything he knows.

With a 72-hour countdown to global blackout, Logan and Maya must navigate a maze of shifting alliances, buried betrayals, and moral fractures that cut deeper than any enemy blade. Every faction wants the Cipher. Every truth comes with a cost. And the line between saving the world and destroying it has never been thinner.

In a world where information is the ultimate weapon, trust is the deadliest gamble.

Perfect for fans of Bourne, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and 24, The Berlin Extraction delivers relentless tension, emotional depth, and a race-against-time that doesn't let go.
