Part of Rogue Team International
First published 2027
Joe Ledger receives the worst possible news. His fiancée has been kidnapped in Ukraine along with American aid workers, including Mr. Church's adopted son. Rogue Team International mobilizes for what should be a standard rescue operation. But the enemy waiting for them represents something entirely new. These aren't ordinary mercenaries. They are genetically and biomechanically enhanced soldiers, faster and stronger than anything Ledger has encountered. The enhanced PMCs have their own agenda beyond ransom or politics. They plan to destroy NATO and rebuild the world order through a new empire. As Ledger tracks them across hostile territory, he discovers they've been collecting Broken Arrows, lost nuclear weapons scattered across the globe. The stakes escalate from personal rescue to preventing global war. For Joe, this mission cuts deeper than duty or patriotism. They took the woman he loves, crossing a line that transforms him into something more dangerous than even his enhanced enemies anticipated.
