Increasingly deadly and destructive attacks on the United States and her allies have grown in intensity and frequency in the past twenty-five years, ignored by successive administrations on both sides of the American political spectrum. But President JoAnne Rush has decided enough is enough, initiating action where it's needed to stop a persistent threat and relying on Marine Corps Captain Katy Morgan to take the fight directly to the enemy. From her assignment as an intelligence officer supporting SEAL Team 3 in San Diego to the shores of Tripoli, Katy is unaware of the forces trying to stop her from accomplishing the mission, of hostages bought and sold by terrorists and dictators, and of the geopolitics in the Middle East. She is drawn into a world of deception and betrayal, where only her values as a Marine officer keep her focused on the objective: to stop a state sponsor of global terrorism. Who's following her, and what do they want? Why was Katy selected for this mission, and what will she find when she gets there?
