| An
American general is captured in the Middle East by terrorists who threaten to
behead him. But moments before he is rendered unconscious, the general notices
that his captors speak American English. What's going on? Gunnery-Sergeant Kyle
Swanson is vacationing in the Mediterranean when he receives orders to mount a
top-secret mission to rescue the general. But as the Marines prepare to land in
the desert, they fall victim to a terrible accident. Swanson, the only survivor,
then discovers they were flying into a deliberate ambush.But how could the enemy
have details of a mission known only to a few top US government officials? Swanson
takes off alone to locate the captured general and realizes he is fighting a particularly
ruthless enemy: American mercenaries working for a very high-level group within
the White House, whose hidden goal is total control of the US military. The fate
of the captured general and that of the nation now rest solely in Swanson's hands.

Just about perfect' - Lee Child. |
