To State Department crisis manager Judd Ryker, "Minute Zero" is that moment in the life of a country going through extreme national disruption where he has the chance to shape events, to make things turn out the way he wants them. Arriving in Zimbabwe, Ryker learns of the political and social upheaval and rumors threatening the peace--most-disturbing of which being the leak of highly enriched uranium onto the market. If Ryker cannot get control to shape his Minute Zero, things will spiral out of control and lots of people will die--including Ryker himself.
