At least one member of JD Cordell's family has fought in every conflict that the United States has been involved in as far back as the French and Indian War. This tradition included his father, Curtis Cordell, who married the beautiful South Vietnamese woman that saved his life deep in the jungles of Vietnam. JD grew up to believe that honor, loyalty, and devotion to duty went hand in hand with the skills and compassion he learned from his years of martial arts training. These things molded JD into the man he is and the accomplished Navy SEAL he has become. While on a dangerous mission, JD's SEAL team unexpectedly discover a plot being orchestrated by a terrorist mastermind living in Iran, which if successful, could spell disaster for the United States. Receiving a message from an old school friend who now works for the CIA, JD finds himself suddenly catapulted into the center of this sinister plot. When a beautiful Syrian assassin murders his friend, JD is drawn further into the web of conspiracy. Working to solve the mystery of his friend's death, JD and his faithful K9, Ajax, uncover a trail of treachery and betrayal that reaches from the mountains of Iran to the highest levels of the U.S. Government. Can JD help prevent a major terrorist strike that has the potential to destroy the American way of life? JD's honor will not allow him just to walk away.
