It's 2004, and the NSA's secret Third Echelon division sends Sam Fisher, a veteran recruited back into the field, to find two CIA officers who've gone missing in Georgia. Irving Lambert runs the operation and Anna Grímsdóttir handles the technical side. What starts as a search for two missing men turns into a hunt for whoever is behind a wave of cyberattacks on the West.
