Ein Atomanschlag. Rechtsextreme im Untergrund. Und nur Abteilung 89 steht zwischen ihnen und Europa Ein scheinbar harmloser Einsatz in Kolumbien endet tödlich, als Major Sophie Decker und ihre Spezialeinheit Abteilung 89 einen mächtigen Drogenboss ausschalten. Doch sein Tod ist nur der Anfang – ein Auslöser für eine Verschwörung, die tief bis nach Europa reicht. In den Schatten Südamerikas planen rechtsextreme Netzwerke einen nuklearen Terroranschlag auf europäischem Boden – koordiniert, fanatisch, und bereit, ganze Gesellschaften ins Chaos zu stürzen.

Bevor sie Abteilung 89 befehligte, war sie eine Waffe auf zwei Beinen Aufgewachsen in den Ruinen der DDR. Von der Stasi gejagt. Von der Bundeswehr gezähmt – und in eine tödliche Waffe verwandelt. Sophie Decker hat nie an Gerechtigkeit geglaubt. Nur an Überleben. Als Kind wurde sie von einem untergehenden Regime geformt, später von der Armee geschliffen – zur Spezialistin für verdeckte Operationen, asymmetrische Kriegsführung und tödliche Präzision. Keine Moral. Keine Gnade. Kein Zurück.

Six months after the nuclear strikes, the world faces a new crisis. Not war. Hunger. Governments struggle to rebuild order as supply chains collapse and food becomes the most valuable resource on Earth. Borders fade and maps no longer matter. What matters now are corridors — roads, ports, and warehouses that must be protected if millions are to survive. Convoys carrying grain, fuel, and medicine move under armed escort. One broken route can push entire regions into chaos.
