A massacre at a remote diner in the Nevada desert puts Mack Bolan in the middle of a black ops mission gone wrong. The battleground is all too familiar: Uncle Sam's dirtiest and ugliest are guarding secrets so dark that termination of innocents in the name of security is standard operating procedure. Bolan goes to war with faceless enemies cloaking their evil in the American flag. He's up against a rogue operative and his assassins and a sanitizing force of Area 51 blacklists. In a secret world where power too often ends up in the wrong hands, Bolan is applying maximum heat to flush out the shadow men who kill and conspire in the name of God and country.
