Max's crimes make him the target of a shadowy network. The network takes him by force and gives him a choice: steal the aforementioned evidence for them, or die. While the network has accounted for every single facet of the mission, they've made one critical error: they've grossly underestimated Max Warfield.Once again on the run, and this time in possession of history-altering evidence, Max finds himself in a position to turn the tables on the network. But, by doing so he could decimate the United States and cause significant loss of life.Combining historical fiction, espionage, crime, and intrigue--with a memorable cast of characters--Fringe Theory delivers thrills and chills all the way to its explosive climax in the snowy French Alps.
