Alex Brandenburg: SEAL Chief Petty Officer and Outcasts Team Leader.
Disobeyed direct orders by refusing to let a deadly terrorist live to
kill another day.
Francisco "Pancho" Rodriguez and John Landry: SEAL Petty Officers
First Class. Took the pursuit of justice into their own hands with
explosive results.
Catherine "Cat" Fares: Navy Petty Officer. Holds an unbeatable
record for pissing off the top brass with her strongly stated opinions
on the combat readiness of women.
The team's mission: Take out the seven terror merchants vying to
take Bin Laden's place. The team's status: Expendable.
When America's controversial Phoenix Program was buried during the
Vietnam War, a new program rose from its ashes. A top-secret Special
Operations unit, with a core mission to combat terror wherever they find
it, Bitter Ash grew ever more necessary in a new world of Islamic
fanaticism. Now, Bitter Ash is forming a special team, a SEAL Team Six
with a difference. It is Tier One, on par with SEAL Team Six and Delta,
but it will report directly to Bitter Ash, and its fight will take place
under the cover of dark.
With Bin Laden dead, the petty leaders within al Qaeda struggle to
assume his role at the top. The president of the United States doesn't
want any of them left to dominate...and that means he has only one
choice. But doing what's needed without political repercussions will
take a small team flying under the radar. A team capable of finessing
the U.N.'s distinctions on national sovereignty and acts of war. A team
like the Outcasts.
With no official support from their government and no one to rely on but
themselves, the Outcasts must track down each target. Hot on the tail of
the third, Brandenburg and the team start to realize that they are
closing in on a larger plot, one that puts the security of the United
States in dangerous jeopardy. The terrorists are threatening American
territory once again, and the Outcasts will have to do what SEALs do
best. Whatever it takes to keep their country safe.
