WHEN THE CLOCK STOPS TICKING— 

CODE BLACK 

Struggling to overcome nightmares about his traumatic past, ex-Navy SEAL Matt Marquette is inadvertently drawn into a terrorist conspiracy after the murder of a young couple and the destruction of his fishing boat in Puget Sound. Searching among the wreckage, Matt uncovers the terrorists' quarry—the final element to a biological bomb. Within hours, Matt's quiet life is shattered as he becomes the center of a police manhunt and the target of assassins determined to reclaim the doomsday device. Armed with only his SEAL training and survival instincts, Matt must undertake the most critical mission he's ever faced—to save an entire city from annihilation.
