A left-leaning judge liberates four of the most dangerous al-Qaeda terrorists from Guantanamo Bay and the CIA field officers track them back to Pakistan's northwest frontier mountain range. But the men vanish and rejoin the dark and mysterious forces trained by Osama bin Laden high in the Hindu Kush. These are men with hatred for the United States and Great Britain, and they have sworn to hit back at America, which imprisoned so many of their high command.
A fateful communication from the mountains of the Afghan side of the border is intercepted by Britain's secret surveillance station on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Al-Qaeda is almost certainly planning a new hit on the US mainland. The CIA is at its wits end, all their fears coming home to roost.
They know there is only one man who can stop the terrorists—retired Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander Mack Bedford—and he is called in to assist on one of the most highly classified missions ever launched from CIA headquarters. Bedford names his price, and once more, the nobility of the man is spun into a breathtakingly fast action novel.

"2nd in the series about Mack Bedford. I will say this isn't as good as the 1st one in the series, however I enjoyed it. If you have any interest in military, seals, etc, you will find it a good read! I'm ready for the 3rd one, but took a break to read some Michael Connolly!" — Doug (4 out of 5 stars)

“Filled with sometimes-frightening insights into the war on terror… Leggett’s clear and crisp delivery carries listeners through long interludes of background facts. As the hunt intensifies, Leggett’s engaging news-anchor style of precise diction and tempo adds verbal muscle to the action-packed conclusion.”
" Interesting book based on fears of what closing the Guantanamo holding facility for terrorists can mean for American security. Not as good as his early books, but still interesting. Ends kind of abruptly. "
" A good read but Mack is no Mitch Rapp. "
" Recommended by a friend who enjoys "mindless reading with action" as he says. Not a bad summer light read if you like military suspense undercover ops type of thriler aka Tom Clancy, John Hunter etc. . Definitley not high literature though. Macho Military... "
" ehhhhh "
" Navy Seal, Afghanistan -- I don't remember much else. Quick summer read. "
" Great read. Slightly predictable. "
" The plot was actually pretty good, but the writing style was very elementary. There were also huge research errors (Muslim terrorists eating bacon?) and over explanation of some things. Weird metephors and such. It was OK. "
" Mack comes through again with yet another black-ops mission that puts him back into his previous life as a commander. There's no problem to small or too big that this bear of a man can tackle. Mack is a guy I'd always want on my team. "
" Requires great leaps from logic. Not up to this authors standards. "
" It was a good book. "
" It was ok. I enjoyed Lone Survivor so much I thought I'd love his others. Found that it was the truth of the story that held me. A fiction alternative didn't do it for me. "
" I listened to this on Audio, but think I would have preferred to read it in book form. As an audiobook it seemed to just go on and on and on with details until I zoned out and missed large portions. "
" It was awesome as I would have expected from Patrick Robinson "
" Patrick Robinson's latest and greatest book. Love this author. Great story lines, hero and suspense. Lots of action "
" Other than the over-the-top, in your face, Right Wing proselytizing, it is enjoyable. "
" Action packed thriller for those who like Tom Clancy and W.E.B. Griffin. "
