Spain is on the brink of economic collapse and European banks demand that any bailout be linked to harsh domestic changes. An alliance of Islamic bankers counter with a rescue package containing no conditions at all. The underlying goal: to break the unity of Europe and put Madrid on the path back to Islamic rule.
When the US stridently opposes the deal, terrorists storm the American consulate in Barcelona and slaughter an entire six-man US Marine security guard. Washington unleashes black ops team Task Force Trident to take down those responsible for the slaughter. Gunnery Sergeant Kyle Swanson, one of the world's best snipers, is called in.
Meanwhile, Algerian mastermind Yanis Rebiane puts pressure on Spain to decide before the Group of Six cracks, while his killing-machine son, Djahid, roams the US, murdering anyone his father deems threat to the takeover scheme ... Once Swanson's name is unearthed from secret files, Kyle and Djahid become hunter and prey. One shot will decide the future of Spain, NATO and the EU.
