From New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling author Joel C. Rosenberg!
A game-changing peace treaty between Israel and the Saudis is nearly done. The secretary of state is headed to the region to seal the deal. And Special Agent Marcus Ryker is leading an advance trip along the Israel-Lebanon border, ahead of the secretary's arrival.
But when Ryker and his team are ambushed by Hezbollah forces, a nightmare scenario begins to unfold. The last thing the White House can afford is a new war in the Mideast that could derail the treaty and set the region ablaze. U.S. and Israeli forces are mobilizing to find the hostages and get them home, but Ryker knows the clock is ticking.
When Hezbollah realizes who they've captured, no amount of ransom will save them--they'll be transferred to Beirut and then to Tehran to be executed on live television.
In the fourth installment of Rosenberg's gripping new series, Marcus Ryker finds himself in the most dangerous situation he has ever faced--captured, brutalized, and dragged deep behind enemy lines.
Should he wait to be rescued? Or try to escape? How? And what if his colleagues are too wounded to run?
This is the CIA's most valuable operative as you have never seen him before.
Back Jacket
Trapped behind enemy lines. Brutally tortured and threatened with death. And the worst is yet to come. . . .
Marcus Ryker has spent his whole life protecting others, first as a Marine, then as a Secret Service agent, and finally as a clandestine CIA operative. But this time it's his own life that's in danger.
When a routine advance trip along the Israeli-Lebanese border goes horribly wrong, American operatives are ambushed and captured by a rogue Hezbollah special forces team.
For the White House, it's a nightmare scenario. If Marcus and his colleagues are tortured and executed on live television, the president will have no choice but to embroil the American people in yet another war they have no stomach for and likely can't win.
Marcus now faces a life-or-death battle, and the odds of survival are narrowing by the hour. Escape seems impossible. Rescue is a quickly fading hope. All Marcus has to rely on is his training, his experience, and his faith.
The odds of survival are narrowing.
Escape seems impossible.
Rescue is a quickly fading hope.
With time running out, he must fight with every instinct he has, because if he can't save himself, he can't save his friends.
