By the New York Times bestselling author and Special Operations Veteran.
The most frightening weapon ever invented can be unleashed by a single person. And now, they have chosen her.
On the border between Croatia and Bosnia, a killer practices his art on UN Peacekeeping troops, leaving handless bodies displayed on crosses. In a trailer near Fort Bragg, a hitman targets a computer genius who has uncovered information more explosive than he could ever guess. And in an ancient, abandoned castle in Germany, a teenage girl is plunged into living hell-one that will take her into the heart of a murderous Middle Eastern plot.
The only mistake the bad guy's make, is not taking into account her father is Special Forces. Now only one Special Forces operative can stop two madmen from turning the girl into a devastating biological weapon.
In a series of brutal covert operations, Thorpe must battle not only the enemy, but betrayal from his own side to not only stop the weapon, but save the daughter of his best friend.
Publishers Weekly: "The action is crisp with a great job of establishing a sense of reality-and real danger-by mixing current fears about killer diseases with a clear-eyed view of the Army."
About the Author: Bob Mayer grew up in the Bronx. After high school, he entered West Point where he learned about the history of our military and our country. During his four years at the Academy and later in the Infantry, Mayer questioned the idea of "mission over men." When he volunteered and passed selection for the Special Forces as a Green Beret, he felt more at ease where the men were more important than the mission. Mayer's obsession with mythology and his vast knowledge of the military and Special Forces, mixed with his strong desire to learn from history, is the foundation for his science fiction series Atlantis, Area 51 and Psychic Warrior. Mayer is a master at blending elements of truth into all of his thrillers, leaving the reader questioning what is real and what isn't. He took this same passion and created thrillers based in fact and riddled with possibilities. His unique background in the Special Forces gives the reader a sense of authenticity and creates a reality that makes the reader wonder where fact ends and fiction begins. In his historical fiction novels, Mayer blends actual events with fictional characters. He doesn't change history, but instead changes how history came into being. Mayer's military background, coupled with his deep desire to understand the past and how it affects our future, gives his writing a rich flavor not to be missed.
