For the President of the United States, the daily horror of life in West
Darfur's killing fields just hit heartbreakingly close to home. His
niece, Lily, has been targeted and savagely murdered by a corps of
fearsome government-backed militiamen. With the situation too explosive
for diplomatic or military solutions, yet with the President and the
public thirsting for revenge, America is out of options. Except one:
Ryan Kealey, ex-Special Forces, former CIA, and unrivaled
counterterrorism expert. Kealey has been central to the war on terror
for over a decade. But after the Agency hung him out to dry--and let his
lover die--he turned his back. Until now. For the government has
revealed its trump card, the one thing Kealey will risk everything for.
Soon, from the lawless streets of Sudan to the highest levels of the
American government, Kealey unearths secrets and betrayals that shock
even his war-tempered sensibilities--and ignite a conflagration with
unknowable global consequences.
