But he knows that every perilous mission may be his last. When a nuclear weapon is stolen, Steele and his superiors in Washington are shaken. Soon it becomes clear that the perpetrator is a shadowy figure from Steele’s past. Once a valued ally, he will now stop at nothing to rain havoc down on those he believes have wronged him.  Sean Parnell uses his combat experience to recreate the adrenaline-fueled excitement and sheer terror of war in this hugely compelling, breakneck thriller. Moving from the inner sanctums of the White House, to the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, Steele must summon all his strength to hunt down this rogue agent and discover his real plan for destruction before it comes to U.S. soil—and the world is forever changed.
