Description
A retired special forces operative thought the battlefield was behind them, trading combat fatigues for civilian anonymity after too many missions and compromises. But when elite scientists working on breakthrough vaccine research are abducted by paramilitary warlords in a war-torn region where governments have collapsed, they're pulled back into darkness by the same agency that promised they were done. The mission is brutal: penetrate hostile territory controlled by warlords who execute prisoners, navigate terrain riddled with mines and traps, and extract hostages before they're forced to weaponize their research. Failure means global catastrophe. Success might mean sacrificing their soul, crossing lines they swore never to cross again, becoming the monster they retired to escape.
