Juan Cabrillo accepts what seems like a routine extraction mission in Kenya. He must pull out an undercover operative, but the job quickly turns deadly. Cabrillo discovers a Saudi Prince plotting to launch hypersonic missiles at American forces. The attack will trigger a new Middle Eastern war and destroy Israel. The Oregon crew faces their most dangerous enemies yet: bio-engineered mercenaries with superhuman strength and endless stamina. These enhanced soldiers hunger for violence and seem nearly unstoppable. Cabrillo and his team race from the Amazon rainforest to an abandoned Eritrean monastery. Their final battle takes place in the mountains of Yemen, where they must disable ship-killer missiles before the Arabian Sea fills with bodies. The crew needs every ounce of skill and bravery to stop this international conspiracy.
