US Army Special Missions Unit operator Jake Foley leads his team through the Somalian battlefield on an assault against a high value target - a warlord with a well armed militia. Infil to the target involves Humvees, Helos and the coordination of drones and use of satellite imagery. Jake's team reaches the target - only to find that he's already been eliminated.

Jake believes that he saw something on target. He believes that someone is hiding a specialized new weapon, one that somehow just made his entire team obsolete.

Strange visitors plant breadcrumbs that lead Jake to the middle of nowhere in the New Mexico desert, where he's invited into a secret facility hundreds of miles from where any army installation should be.

What he discovers, and what he is invited to join is a new unit, one that eliminates bad guys using a technology that defies imagination and against which the enemies of freedom have no defense, - at least, not for now.
