US National Security Advisor, Jessica Tanzer, has her own reasons for wanting him home, but there is someone else who has a much more sinister agenda. Someone who seeks revenge and who will not rest until he finds the man who ruined his life. Meanwhile, in Pakistan, a radical cleric is elected president and an incident in the border region of Kashmir gives him the opportunity to escalate conflict with neighbouring India. As the situation quickly spins out of control, it becomes clear that India is only days away from resorting to the kind of attack which would put world peace in jeopardy. With only hours to head off disaster, the US moves to send in its very best people to help avert a worldwide crisis. There is only one man the president can trust to carry out this near impossible mission. Can Dewey Andreas be found in time, and can he be persuaded to carry out the most difficult and dangerous mission of his career?

With the clock ticking and Pakistan in the hands of a religious radical willing to do anything and risk everything to achieve his deadly plan, there is only one man with the skills and experience to infiltrate the live war theater and successfully execute a nearly impossible, unbelievably daring plan. His name: Dewey Andreas. His mission: to remove the Pakistani president from power. Now all the White House has to do is find him...before time runs out.
