An explosive, high-stakes thriller of espionage and counterterrorism
by the Wall Street Journal bestselling authors of Tier One.
A shocking attack in Ankara leaves the US Ambassador to Turkey dead and
his chief of staff, Amanda Allen, in the hands of brutal terrorists. But
Allen is no ordinary diplomat. She's undercover CIA. The DNI and the
President turn to Ember, America's premier black-ops task force, and its
deadliest weapon, former Tier One Navy SEAL John Dempsey, for help. To
find Allen, Ember gets embedded in the most dangerous battlefield on
Earth: Syria. But when all communications are disabled by an attack in
Turkey, Dempsey finds himself with no backup--a lone shadow warrior
racing against time to rescue Allen from her captors before she reaches
her breaking point.
What Dempsey doesn't realize is that Allen is just a pawn in a much
larger game. A new player has already been unleashed: a legendary
mercenary who matches the American Operator in skill, tactical prowess,
and a killer instinct for survival. Now there is far more at stake than
a kidnapped CIA agent. Dempsey and his team better get this one right,
because the balance of power for the entire Middle East rests on their
shoulders. And the new threat is far more dangerous than any Dempsey has
encountered in his decades waging war against terrorism. Game on.
