For years, ex-Navy SEAL Maxwell Moore has worked across the Middle East
and behind the scenes for the Special Activities Division of the CIA,
making connections, extracting valuable intelligence, and facing off
against America's enemies at every turn.
And then...news of a potentially devastating coalition: What if two of
the greatest threats to the security of the United States were to form
an unholy alliance? The Taliban is trying to exploit a Mexican drug
cartel to which they supply opium as a means to bring the fire of jihad
to the hearts of the infidels. It is up to Moore, and his team, to
infiltrate and dismantle the drug cartel, even as they hunt for those
who would bring the ultimate terror and destruction to the streets of
America.
In a story that races from the remote, war-scarred landscapes of the
Middle East to the blood-soaked chaos of the U.S.-Mexico border, Tom
Clancy once again delivers a heart-stopping thriller that is
frighteningly close to reality.
