Nat Phillips leads an elite roster of military mercenaries. They are ex-Special Forces, combat divers, medics, communications specialists, and intelligence officers.

Emergency operations happening not overseas but in the centers of American Power, from Nantucket to Washington, DC. This national crisis is real. Only Nat Phillips can stop it.
