Synopsis
Intelligence, espionage, and even war as we know it has been transformed by the War on Terror. With the CIA on the ropes, the armed forces stretched thin, and the need for vital inside information and action at an all-time high, the United States government and its allies have turned to private organizations to carry the load. In companies like Blackwater USA and Triple Canopy, former high-ranking soldiers and specialists are finding that the services they can offer pays extremely well, and the pool of jobs is seemingly infinite.
Camille Black's Black Management is one of these private military corporations. With over 1,000 employees, Black Management is one of the smaller organizations. They have set up their headquarters in the volatile and opportunistic Middle East and find themselves competing heavily for a piece of the pie.
Camille is approached by the CIA for an extremely important mission. Her goal is to track down and eliminate a man accused of selling arms to terrorist cells throughout the Middle East. But her quarry is her ex-fiance, Hunter Smith. Battling her old feelings, but fueled by his disloyalty to both her and his country, Camille sets off into the shadows of the War on Terror to find him. Dodging death daily, her hunt takes her way beyond the frontlines, and the further she goes the more the lines between good and evil begin to blur, and Camille is not sure who to trust.
