She's flanked by enemies, inside and out. Can this dedicated officer execute a strategy to save a colleague's life before they're both MIA?

South Korea. 2013. Navy Captain Kate Mahoney is fighting battles on all fronts. When a Navy doctor reports suspicions of a botulism strike at an American facility, the rising Seventh Fleet star orders an immediate investigation. And her challenges multiply when she learns a fellow female pilot is missing in North Korea . . .

Facing her own trials when a former superior threatens to court martial her, Mahoney vows to do whatever it takes to bring the woman home. But with intel of biological weapons hidden in the dictator-ruled country putting everyone on high alert, the captain's mission to extract the tortured captive hits a serious hurdle when the country's leader parades her on international media.

Will she and those under her command survive the final assault?
