When three covert operatives are killed while investigating the kidnapping of a congressman's daughter, John Drake is called in.

Driven by personal demons, he is determined to deliver his own brand of justice. As Drake tracks the most powerful enemy he has ever faced, an already tough mission becomes nearly impossible.

His assignment propels him to the fulcrum of a new World War, and a CIA plot to incite conflict between the Muslim oil countries and Israel unfolds. Haunted by trauma from his past, Drake must ultimately confront the most terrifying identity of all - his own.

But can he hunt down the most dangerous man in the world and prevent a war - or will he become the monster he hunts?
