Five years ago, Remy Bomar found himself on the wrong end of a military operation in Syria that went terribly wrong, the results catastrophic. His reaction was to walk away, just years short of his pension, and return to his family in Oregon. There he stays, tucked away from the world, until recent events force him out of hiding.

Those events? Someone is terrorizing major cities across the country, opening fire on sacred lands, with no regard for human life. Authorities are convinced these are the acts of an international organization, but Bomar has an aching suspicion that something else is afoot, something that calls back to being out in the desert years before.

Joining forces with a disgraced young FBI agent and an enterprising young reporter, Bomar must race across the country to unravel what is going on, and bring it to an end before anybody else gets hurt.
