Summer, 2024 Afghanistan is again at civil war. Jan and the rest of The Circle of Fire are fighting to free the country from the chains of Taliban rule. They have joined forces with the Knights of Durrani and their allied militias, operating from a secret headquarters in the gold mines of Badakhshan. Pakistan's nuclear arsenal may hold the key to breaking the stalemate on the front lines. Jan and Kelly embark on a mission to infiltrate an air base where the warheads may be stored. They must leave their young child behind to lead the uprising against the supreme mullah, a cruel religious zealot who wants them dead. Farrukh returns to his tribal village, unsure if he will be greeted as a hero or a traitor. The fate of his wife will depend on Hafizullah, who sets out to free her from captivity in Balochistan. The young fighter Hajeerat has defected to the Taliban, only to witness the enslavement of a girl he loves. Is it too late for him to switch sides again? Running short of time and options, Jan agrees to the demands of the Russian conscripts who want their own nuclear weapon to take revenge on their motherland. The Circle of Fire will risk everything on the outcome of Afghanistan's Civil War in the seventh installment of the action-adventure series by Amazon best-selling author Andrew Anzur Clement.
