The creator of the CBS series The Unit delivers his fiction debut

Kennesaw Tanner once fought a shadow war. Now he's fighting for himself.

Soldier of fortune Kennesaw Tanner is approached by government operatives with an offer: rescue the kidnapped heir of a powerful Persian Gulf sheik whose alliance with the U.S. has made him a target for terrorists.

But what Tanner doesn't know is that there are elements within the government who want him to fail, that the sands of politics are shifting against him—and that the job he's being paid to do may cost him more than he bargained for.
