His war is over and former special forces captain Gerry Gallen is enjoying the relative peace of running a cattle ranch in Wyoming. But when he's asked to lead a team to Jordan to retrieve his wartime sergeant, he agrees. Landing in Amman, Gallen re-enters a world of Arab gangsters, American mercenaries, and the constantly shifting loyalties of the CIA. And watching over his every step is the lethal presence of Hamas – a daily reminder that Gallen is working under the constant threat of death. Nothing about the gig is what it seems and as Gallen realizes that his former boss has stolen 3 million dollars from some powerful locals, the specter of Iraqi aggression rears its head. But why are neo-Baathists chasing Gallen? And what do they want with the cargo he is carrying? Hunted, beaten and trapped, Gerry Gallen is a man running two races. Can he break clear before lightning strikes?
