The book starts with Drake at his lowest as he has broken a promise that ended up costing three people their lives and left his best friend crippled. This happened in Syria and he had to leave to try and put the memories behind him. However, he is called back into action when a Pakistani scientist wants to defect with a weapon he created to escape ISIS. The only man he trusts to get him out of Syria alive is Drake who will need to face his demons to save the man, and maybe the world.
Bentley also contributed to the Jack Ryan Universe series with his Jack Ryan Jr. novel, Target Acquired. The book sees Ryan being a loyal friend to Ding Chavez and taking his place on a mission in Israel.
