Part of Mitch Rapp, book 11
First published 2008
Mike Nash has spent sixteen years serving his country, first as a Marine Corps officer, then as a counterterrorism operative under Mitch Rapp's command. He has fought jihads in secret, using lethal tactics that saved thousands of lives while lying to his wife and children about his true work. With Rapp away on assignment in Pakistan, CIA Director Irene Kennedy calls on Nash for a critical mission. Nash has met violence with violence and never wavered in the covert war against terrorism, accepting no public recognition for his sacrifices. But now the very government he has served with unwavering loyalty prepares to turn against him. Nash must confront an enemy he never expected: his own country's betrayal of the principles he has risked everything to defend.
