First published 2017
Delta Force squadron commander Kolt "Racer" Raynor receives orders to lead a mission into Syria targeting the new ISIS money man. Something feels wrong from the start. Raynor has led countless operations, but this time his superiors insist he personally command the assault team on the ground. His instincts scream danger, yet he follows orders. The moment his team touches down in Syria, Raynor realizes the truth. The mission is a setup. Syrian militant leader Abu Hamam al-Suri wants to defect from ISIS, but first he demands the head of the American commando who killed his son two years earlier. Secretary of State Bill Mason sees an opportunity to eliminate his old enemy Raynor by delivering him straight into al-Suri's hands. Now Raynor and his Delta team are trapped in a city crawling with enemy fighters. They must fight their way out while Raynor hunts for answers about who betrayed them and why.
