Condition: Good. In the War on Terror, it is often difficult to tell who the enemy isSometimes your fiercest opponent isn't an insurgent or a fanatic bent on making a statement in blood, but a chain of command that is pursuing goals and objectives that have nothing to do with your unit's stated missionNathan Dixon finds out just how true this is when a new battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Delmont, convinces his superiors that he has an all but foolproof plan for defeating Islamic terrorists in the Philippines--a plan that will ensure Delmont's promotion to full colonel and beyondBut the 3rd Regiment of the 75th Ranger battalion is pitted against no foolDetermined to create a fundamental Islamic state in Southeast Asia, a charismatic terrorist by the name of Hamdani Summirat unites the various Islamic factions into a confederationTheir aim is to drag the United States into a protracted war of attrition that the Americans cannot winSummirat's factions play out a deadly game of cat and mouse, drawing the American forces into ambushes and small, bloody encounters with a small but highly trained core of Islamic fightersLieutenant General Scott Dixon, Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations with the US Army--and Nathan's father--soon finds that these enemies are practically impossible to hunt downThey are killing American troops almost at willHe realizes quickly that if the mission continues, many more Americans will be wounded or killed-- perhaps even his own sonBut his pleas to his Commander-in-Chief are practically ignoredThis dual game of cat and mouse is played out both in the jungles of Mindanae and in the forward operations baseNathan Dixon must deal with a battalion commander who is determined to see his plan through, regardless of the price Nathan and his company must pay, while Scott Dixon must deal with a chain of command that refuses to alter a plan of attack in the face of a losing effort.
