A "superior thriller" (Kirkus Reviews) from the author of The Bone Hunter series and The Slayer Rule

One rogue scientist. Two unlikely allies. Three chances to stop a nuclear disaster.

In the aftermath of the Soviet Union's collapse, a brilliant Russian engineer vanishes into the irradiated ruins of the Polygon -- once the Soviet's nuclear testing ground. Decades later, CIA operative Bill Estes and FBI agent Michelle Marsh uncover evidence of stolen nuclear material and the missing Russian bomb maker who may have resurfaced.

Then a U.S. warship is destroyed in a nuclear blast. Washington scrambles for answers.

As Estes tracks leads across the globe, he suspects a far-reaching conspiracy -- one that implicates more than just Iran. Meanwhile, Marsh, digging into the Russian's past, reaches an unsettling conclusion: the very man they're hunting may be the only one who can stop the next attack, on American soil.

From Moscow to Kazakhstan to the White House, State of Matter blends espionage, nuclear science, and geopolitical brinkmanship into a timely and chillingly plausible thriller.

"DeGrandpre brings a sense of authenticity to this propulsive global thriller, which spans decades and features far-flung locations." -- Kirkus Reviews
