"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." --Benjamin Franklin An exiled Iranian operating out of Damascus is taking aim at the one thing the United States holds most precious-her freedom. Launching a blitzkrieg of mass shootings in cities across the country, Muhannad Qasim knows the urban dwellers and the media will blame the Second Amendment for the carnage and then relentlessly pressure lawmakers to stifle Americans' right to arm and defend themselves. The master terrorist understands that a citizenry unarmed is at the complete mercy of its government-and he has spent years carefully seeding the U.S. Media and government with influential officials sympathetic to his views. Qasim's plan is working beautifully until one of his cells runs headlong into the wrong man. Dillon Cole is a combat veteran and former U.S. Marshal. After marrying, he hung up his guns and began a new career as a business executive, never looking back. But when he finds himself suddenly caught in the middle of a shooting inside a college student union in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Dillon fights back, killing three of the terrorists and saving untold lives. His heroics ignite a nationwide firestorm of resistance to the ongoing attacks as well as the attacks on the Constitution. But as Americans begin to fight back, Dillon now finds himself in a fight for his own life as the terrorists will stop at nothing to kill him, including going after his wife and newly adopted daughter. No longer constrained by the rules of his former profession, Dillon Cole takes the fight to the attackers, turning the hunters into the hunted.
