Calvon Henry, a counterterrorism agent, and Urik Gibson, a coworker, may have finally found a match. Two terrorist groups have been stopped by the CIA, but a third, commanded by a deadly genius intends to take over as the next leader of al-Qaeda. Henry needs the finest of the best by his side to fight such a terrifyingly terrible opponent, and he thinks he has that in Gibson.
Together, they have made careers out of meeting violence with extreme violence and have never wavered in the top-secret fight against the war on terrorism. Both have been forced to lie to virtually every single person they care about, and both have soldiered on with the knowledge that their lethal tactics have saved thousands of lives. But certain leaders on Capitol Hill are pushing to have men like Henry and Gibson put on a short leash. And then one spring afternoon in Washington, DC, everything changes.
