About
In this action-packed thriller, Special Agent Alex Martel's fight becomes personal when her father is kidnapped by a terrorist organization.
CIA Special Agent Alexandra Martel is on safari in Tanzania with her father, a retired US Army general, when they encounter a group of wildlife rangers under attack. After a gunfight, Alex and her father return to their camp, where they discover the unexpected arrival of Alex's boss, CIA Branch Chief Caleb Copeland.
The following day, Alex's father is kidnapped. Feeling guilty for not anticipating the danger, Alex assembles a crack team of mercenaries to track down her father. With the help of Caleb's elite unit and another CIA paramilitary officer, they embark on a dangerous mission to rescue the general from a terrorist network that has plans to sell him to a major African-based terrorist organization in exchange for deadly technology.
The situation becomes even more perilous when the team discovers that the terrorist group who kidnapped the general was supposed to kill him, not sell him. Furious at the betrayal, the leader who ordered the general's death has vowed to hunt down and eliminate everyone involved-and finish the job by killing the general himself. Alex and her team race against the clock to rescue her father and prevent the deadly military technology from falling into the terrorists' hands. STEVE URSZENYI was a paramedic in Toronto and a tactical medic with the Ontario Provincial Police, where he was a specialist in SWAT, CBRNE, HUSAR, and public order operations. Steve is also the former commander of the Province of Ontario's disaster medical response and all-hazards emergency management team, EMAT, and is a recipient of the Governor General of Canada EMS Exemplary Service Medal and Bar in recognition of his distinguished service. Steve loves touring on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle with his wife, Lynne. They live in Toronto and have two grown children.
