A retired sniper, living in obscurity under a false name. A tenacious journalist, chasing down the biggest story of his life. And a ruthless, off-the-books CIA group, that breaks the law and operates completely out-of-control. What do you get when you mix these three together? A ton of spilled blood and one bad-ass book.

Nick Woods is tired of waiting. America's greatest sniper has spent the better part of two years up in the mountains of Montana, waiting for the government to double-cross him and try to come get him. But waiting in isolation, with his wife Anne gone, has caused his paranoia to reach dangerous levels. It's killing him, day-by-day. And so Nick ventures out. Carefully, like Nick does everything. But what Nick doesn't know is that the Mexican government stands on the verge of complete collapse. A brilliant madman has united the drug cartels into a deadly alliance, and the Mexican President holds a perilous grip on power. America has already sent a team of Navy SEALs to deal with this cartel, but that proved a catastrophe. The country needs Nick Woods again, and it needs him now.

The mission? Practically off-the-charts impossible. Four men must infiltrate (on foot) 30+ miles into Pakistan and abduct a key VIP of the Taliban. These men will be offered no support. No air support. No radios. No chance of rescue. And if they’re caught or killed, America will deny their existence. This is how the mission in Afghanistan begins for Nick Woods and your favorite members of S3 (Marcus, Truck, and Red). And unfortunately for them, it only gets worse from there...
