The land of Bosnia has suffered bloodshed, atrocity, and ceaseless misery. But there is one man the people fear above all else.

While on a search-and-destroy mission in the middle of Iraq, Marine Force Recon Team 2400 winds up on the wrong end of a life-or-death chase across the desert. After taking out a meeting of international extremists, the team finds itself tracked by the one terrorist who got away.

Despite the success of their last mission, the Marine Corps put one of Team Midnight's finest men on trial and sentenced their best shooter to a mental hospital. With half the team out of commission, Swayne and Greiner are sent to Afghanistan on a research operation, one that turns fatal when a CIA agent is captured by terrorists.
