Part of Scot Harvath, book 18
First published 2019
Scot Harvath finds himself trapped in hostile territory with no backup and no way home. The intelligence operative has been betrayed during what should have been a routine mission. Now his enemies surround him on all sides. His handlers back home have no idea where he is or that he needs extraction. Harvath must rely on every skill he has learned as an agent, soldier, and killer to stay alive. He moves through enemy terrain, avoiding capture while planning his next move. But getting out alive is not enough for Harvath. Someone set him up and left him to die. He wants to know who betrayed him and why. More than that, he wants to make them pay. The mission has become personal. Harvath will use every weapon and tactic at his disposal to hunt down the people responsible. He has survived impossible odds before, but this time the stakes feel different. This time it is about more than completing an assignment or serving his country. It is about settling a score.
