Nicholas Gorski is a brilliant physicist working for the MOD with a passion and determination to build a machine that can match and amplify the natural resonance frequency of a building. When his application for government funding to research his project is rejected he feels shunned and ridiculed. With anti-establishment feelings growing, he is determined to prove them wrong. Having gone to ground undertaking tireless research, he re-emerges with a machine capable of revolutionising building structure and design, or in the wrong hands, bringing it down like a sandcastle. His intentions now, to sell to anyone willing to pay the price. Enter retired ex special forces operative Max Diamond. His brief is to shadow Gorski and find out who the buying contacts are. Before Gorski has any chance to handover the plans, Diamond must take the buyers out and keep Gorski alive. Thus starts a perilous, life threatening journey for them both. With Gorski hopelessly out of his depth, he needs a guardian angel - and so begins Operation Takedown. Travelling through cities and crossing continents, Diamond shadows Gorski, doing whatever necessary to ensure the schematics for the machine never fall into the wrong hands. Will his efforts be enough, or will the world come crumbling down?
