He left the team behind for a quieter life... John 'Reaper' Kane was once an integral part of the world's most feared team of operators. Together, they went places most special forces considered suicidal. But after having his fill of an always-revolving doorway of danger and death, he's now a man alone-and all he wants is peace and quiet. Too bad the world isn't finished with him. When duty calls and MI6 tasks him with getting an Iranian scientist out of Gaza, he can't ignore their pleas. With his team behind him and Iraq, Iran, England, and Malaysia acting as the tip of a violent iceberg melting red, Kane isn't about to take a step backward. If he does, thousands will die-himself included.
