They call it the Taskforce. Their existence is as essentialas it is illegal. Commissioned at the highest level of the U.S. government.Protected from the prying eyes of Congress and the media. Built around the topoperators from across the clandestine, intelligence, and special forceslandscape. Designed to operate outside the bounds of U.S. law. Trained to existon the ragged edge of human capability. Pike Logan was the most successful operator on theTaskforce, his instincts and talents unrivaled-until personal tragedypermanently altered his outlook on the world. Pike knows what the rest of thecountry might not want to admit: The real threat isn't from any nation, anygovernment, any terrorist group. The real threat is one or two men, controlledby ideology, operating independently, in possession of a powerful weapon. Buried in a stack of intercepted chatter is evidence of twosuch men. The transcripts are scheduled for analysis in three months. Theattack is mere days away. It is their bad luck that they're about to crosspaths with Pike Logan. And Pike Logan has nothing left to lose.
