And the threat is far from over. Part of a larger plot involving a
sabotaged North Korean bioweapons facility and an ISIS training camp
in northern Mexico, a third attack—bigger than 9/11—is being
hatched by cold-blooded killers.

In a harrowing firefight, Nathan’s assault team will have to
neutralize the terrorist cell, recover the weapons of mass
destruction, and get them safely across the international border. The
lives of thousands are at risk as Nathan weighs his lust for revenge
against the most crucial part of the mission—taking the ringleaders
alive—which might just cost him his life.

Holding her
cheek, the woman cried softly. The guy looked at Nathan and made an exaggerated
"mind your own business" gesture. Firmly hugging her mom's leg, the
child had her back to the man.
Don't do it, Nate. Don't you dare...
Too late. He'd already started down the aisle.
There were three surefire ways to press Nathan McBride's buttons. Strike
a woman. Hurt a child. Or kick a dog.
This jerk probably did all three on a regular basis.
Approaching, he smelled the stench of alcohol.
Not beer or wine. Hard stuff.
Dressed in blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and a smeared ball cap, the guy
was pasty white, big - maybe six two - and noticeably overweight. Cheap tats
marred his arms. His wife or girlfriend stood a foot shorter. The little girl
looked five or six with skin darker than the man's and lighter than the
woman's.
Most people would've been intimidated by the guy's size, unless they
stood three inches taller, weighed the same, and had a BMI of less than 15
percent - which happened to be Nathan's build.
It's not too late to turn back. You
know this isn't going to end well. For who? Or is it whom? Probably whom.
With a smug expression, the man squared up and made no attempt to hide
his revulsion at the sight of Nathan's scarred face. A southern drawl declared,
"This ain't your concern, Frankenstein. Mind your own business."
