"He's gone behind enemy lines countless times before. But this time, he's going alone.
Foster Quinn is more than a former Force Recon Marine. He's a husband. A father. A faithful brother to his teammates. When one of them is killed during a high-risk operation to track down a dangerous arms dealer, Foster struggles to balance his roles as a dedicated family man and an elite warrior. Despite his inner demons―or maybe because of them―Foster can't walk away from his brothers.
Then he gets the chance to step in where his best friend left off, assuming a cover identity in Iran that will get him close to the arms dealer and pave the way for a critical mission. On his own in a new country, he must carefully choose who to trust. An Iranian taxi driver. An American hunter. A British oil executive. One wrong move could spell disaster. Not just for the mission, but for Foster.
The clock is ticking. A team of tier-one warriors is set to plummet through the night sky in enemy territory. They've trained for this. But their success hinges on just one man.

"A missing CIA officer.
A rogue terrorist faction.
A bioweapon more devastating than anything ever seen…
And that’s just the beginning.
When a rogue military faction in China kidnaps a CIA case officer, global tensions ignite. Desperate to forestall the looming firestorm, the United States deploys an elite team of Navy SEALs to rescue the agent, protected by nothing but their training and a single pilot providing air cover from his FA-18E Super Hornet—normally, it wouldn’t be enough.
But these aren’t normal times…and this is no ordinary pilot.
Fresh off his latest mission, TOPGUN pilot Colt Bancroft is tasked with providing air support to the SEALs. But when Chinese jets engage him just as a bioweapon is simultaneously deployed against Colt’s aircraft carrier, he realizes this is more than a simple kidnapping: it’s a prelude to world war.
Now, aided by Emmy King—an intelligent and beautiful NCIS Agent with a score to settle—Colt will have to use everything he has to figure out who’s behind the attacks. And more importantly, how to stop them before they strike again.
It’s a race between national security and global catastrophe...and only a man used to flying supersonic has a chance in hell of winning."
