The team calls itself Tier One. Four elite SEALs operating under the classified Special Op unit Bitter Ash, they work in the shadows with no official government support. Their mission: eliminate the seven al Qaeda members competing to replace bin Laden as the terrorist organization's leader. The United Nations' policies on national sovereignty mean nothing to these operators. They move under cover of darkness, taking out targets that America needs dead but cannot officially touch. The SEALs have already eliminated two high-value targets when they close in on their third objective. But this hunt reveals something bigger. A plot targeting the United States itself. The discovery forces the Outcasts into their most dangerous mission yet, one that will test everything they know about warfare, loyalty, and survival. Written by Howard E. Wasdin, co-author of the bestselling SEAL Team Six memoir, this novel draws on real field experience to create a story about warriors who break military code to protect their country.
