The time is the present. A cabal of hardliners in the Iranian regime is secretly developing a weapon to hasten the return of their prophet, the Imam Mehdi. Across the oceans, a group of patriotic Americans have formed a private intelligence company. This organization, known as Unit 81, is not subject to the debilitating political correctness of the federal bureaucracy. When Unit 81's top operative, Janusz Soltani, receives a tip about the IRGC's clandestine missile program, the race is on to stop the Iranians. The lives of millions depend on Janusz's success.
