A New Type of War The terrorist faction al Assad (The Lion) has declared war on the United States, launching well- planned attacks in American cities with horrific results. A New Kind of Response Decades earlier, twenty men were selected from the Special Forces community. Their lifetime mission was to abandon their lives and infiltrate the most dangerous terrorist factions abroad, silently bringing them down from the inside. They were code-named "Patriots." An Unknown Number of Players Presently, two Patriots resurface with information that could save thousands of lives and a traitor is discovered in the most trusted of places. CIA officer Steve McCallister battles the invisible soldiers of al Assad as he races against the clock to prevent a final act of treachery that could change the course of the entire world. An Uncommon Promise McCallister has two childhood friends, Blake and Pete. Separated by geography and lifestyle, they meet once per year and do not communicate between visits. At the current getaway, McCallister emphatically and mysteriously picks a strange destination for the next rendezvous, promising to be there "no matter what happens." Subsequently, attempts are made on all of their lives and the terrorist strikes keep coming.
