Rob Tacoma gets the call he has been waiting for his entire career. The former Navy SEAL and CIA operative joins a classified government unit designed to combat the Russian mafia, the most brutal criminal organization in America. Tacoma has personal stakes in this war. Russian mobsters murdered his parents when he was young, leaving him to be raised by his grandparents. But before the mission even begins, assassins kill his commanding officer Bo Coll in his own home. Now Tacoma must lead the team himself. Their first target is the mob boss who ordered Coll's execution. The Russians have built a ruthless empire since the Soviet collapse, bringing hardened criminals to American soil. Traditional law enforcement cannot touch them. Only Tacoma's kill team operates outside the rules. He faces an army of killers who show no mercy and follow no laws. This battle will test everything Tacoma learned as a SEAL and spy.
