When veteran operator Pike Logan and partner Jennifer Cahill receive a letter from Blaisdell Consultingβthe umbrella cover company for their real employer, a top secret counterterrorist unit called the Taskforceβthey expect orders for their next mission-impossible tasking. Instead, they learn that their latest actions have gotten them fired, despite having saved thousands of innocent lives.
Pikeβs shock and fury is redirected when their commander, Colonel Kurt Hale, asks him and Jennifer for help with a personal matter: His niece Kylie, an exchange student in England, has gone missing. Neither Pike nor Jennifer understands how critical her disappearance will become.
Meanwhile, all Taskforce teams have been redirected to a developing situation. A terrorist organization has targeted military relatives of key members of the US government, including the vice presidentβs son. Their seizure of hostages was far-reaching and meticulously coordinated, and the full extent of the threatβand potential demandsβhas thrown the government into turmoil. They face a terrible choice: Cease counter-terrorist operations, or watch hostages die one by one. How much is a single life worth? Unless the Taskforce can decipher the web of lies devised by their enemies, the United States is about to find out.
