The Thin Red Line

In this pulse-pounding chapter, Jimmy and the team escape the smoldering ruins of Teufelsberg with the warhead secured and Atlas’s signal severed. But their fight is far from over. As they race toward the extraction point on the outskirts of Berlin, they come under fire—Atlas is still hunting them.

Trapped and outgunned, the team splits up to outmaneuver the attackers. In a tense moment, Jimmy comes face to face with the elusive mastermind behind Atlas: Ivan Petrov. Their confrontation is brief but chilling, revealing Petrov’s belief that Atlas is an idea—one that won’t die even if he does.

As the NATO extraction chopper approaches, the team regroups, wounded but alive. Petrov may have vanished into the night, but the immediate threat is over.

They’ve survived the battle. But the war against Atlas is far from finished.
