Intent on embroiling the U.S. in a quagmire, Russia passes a weapon of mass destruction to Boko Haram, an extreme Islamic sect in Nigeria. The Russians believe the relic of the Cold War has deteriorated and is no longer effective, but they are wrong. Boko Haram has the means for mass destruction, which will be set loose on one of the world’s grandest stages. Pike Logan and the Taskforce have no idea what’s been set in motion. But there’s another secret from the Cold War buried in Russia’s past, and exposing it will mean the difference between life and death for millions.

Praise for The Thousand Names:

“A world of dust and bayonets and muskets...and magic.” —S.M. Stirling

“Django Wexler has delivered a highly entertaining debut which mixes elements of Bernard Cornwall-esque military adventure with an original take on magic and keen eye for action, dialogue and character. If this is any indication succeeding volumes may end up doing for the Napoleonic Wars what George R.R. Martin did for the Wars of the Roses.” —Anthony Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of Tower Lord
