Chasing the Lion

Parizad built his career in his nation's armed forces, where his deadliness and sharp tactical mind lifted him through the ranks. He now holds the rank of general and runs the Quds Force, an extremist group that wages terror against the United States and its Western allies. American officials have just exposed a biochemical weapon his organization developed: a virus that attacks the nervous system and leaves its victims open to mind control.

Parizad plans to release the weapon in Washington, D.C., on Inauguration Day, as the country's first female president takes the oath, turning ordinary civilians into weapons. Army Lieutenant General Garrett Sinclair and his Joint Special Operations team are charged with stopping the strike. Sinclair tracks Parizad across the Middle East, through Europe, and onto American soil, where he uncovers a deeper conspiracy: his wife may not have died of cancer after all, but may have been murdered.

Cut off from his teammates and unsure whom he can trust, Sinclair is fighting for more than his country. He is also seeking vengeance for his family.
