As a frontline operative, Cal McHenry has literally been there, done that, risking life and limb to fight for those who can't fight for themselves.

A sage and wily career US Army veteran with nearly two decades as a Delta Force operator, McHenry now leads a quick reaction force for CIA agent Lilly "Tiger" Swanson, a tough, field-tested operative and a rising star in the eyes of those on the seventh floor at Langley.

During a routine mission that turns anything but routine, Tiger pulls on a thread of intel data that soon reveals a global conspiracy. Tiger and the team are then put to the biggest test of their careers, a daunting mission that will not only press their abilities to survive, but also their resolve to protect and preserve the national security interests of the United States.

With a storyline ripped from today's headlines (and maybe even those of the near future), Cal, Tiger, and the QRF team race their adversaries around the globe-from Afghanistan to Germany, Russia, Latvia, the United States, the Philippines, Taiwan, and back to Afghanistan again-all in a desperate attempt to keep from getting outflanked!

"Action packed and so credible it is scary; the ending left me wanting to know what happens next with Tiger, Mac, and the rest of the team. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone who enjoys espionage thrillers."
