In the Southwest, a legendary Vietnam-era aircraft disappears without a trace. On the other side of the country, a deadly shipment of nerve gas is loaded onto a secret train. Now, these two seemingly unconnected events are bringing out the Army's deep “black op” Dog Team.

While Captain Steve Ireland, the grandson of a Dog Team great, is on a train bound for hell. . .From two sides of the country, one murderous, terrifying plot is closing in like a vice. Once it does, America’s only hope will be precision lethal force—aimed hard into the heart of darkness . . .
