Lieutenant Commander James Reece returns from his final combat deployment devastated. His entire SEAL team died in a catastrophic ambush, along with the aircrew who tried to rescue them. On the day he comes home, killers murder his family. Reece uncovers the terrible truth: a government conspiracy orchestrated both attacks. Foreign enemies didn't kill his teammates. American officials in the highest levels of power did. Now Reece has lost everything that mattered to him. He no longer answers to military command. He applies over a decade of warfare training to a new mission: revenge. Reece hunts the conspirators who destroyed his life. He ignores laws of combat and rules of civilian justice. His targets hold positions of authority and influence, but Reece systematically eliminates them. The conspiracy reaches deeper into government than he imagined. Reece becomes both hunter and hunted as he works through his list of enemies.
