In this gripping thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Out of the Ashes, an Islamic extremist is on a quest for vengeance after his only son is killed and it's up to Op-Center to stophis lethal plot. General Bob Underwood -- a special presidential envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL -- is en route to the Syrian city of al-Bukamal when a rocket-propelled grenade strikes the side of his Humvee and the heavily armored convoy comes under attack. The general's bodyguard is brutally murdered, and Underwood himself is kidnapped. Hours later, the President and top officials watch in horror from the Oval Office, as the general is viciously beheaded by an ISIL leader -- broadcast on live television through a direct feed from Al Jazeera.
