A clandestine war rages across South America between two covert armies.

Clashing in the streets of major cities and remote jungles, they struggle for total domination of a country and the future of a continent.

Black ops expert from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Colonel Ali Anwar al Qalmini, has come to South America with a mission: give Iran a foothold in the Western Hemisphere. Through manipulation and deadly tactics, he plans to foment civil unrest and destabilize the small country of Uruguay to overthrow its democratic government. With the help of the beautiful and ruthless Contessa Selena de Alvarez ─ mysterious international broker of criminal services ─ along with Nouri al-Surriman, a Hezbollah operative with strong ties to South America, Qalmini intends to install an Iranian-backed puppet regime right under the noses of the US and its allies.

Micha Cohen, former intelligence officer of the Israeli Mossad, has a front row seat to Qalmini’s deadly plot but is persona-non-grata with his old organization. His only allies are Kafka Dayan, an ex-naval commando with Israel’s elite Shayetet 13, and a group of ragtag mercenaries willing to follow an old friend into a dangerous game.

The stakes are high. There is no second place. Failure is not an option in this meticulously plotted, realistic military action thriller by the author of The Sauwa Catcher Series and The Devil's Shadow.
