Dr Zoe Lange has just been
presented with the biggest challenge of her career. A biological warfare
specialist, she’s more than familiar with going undercover. What’s different
about this mission is that she’ll be assisting Admiral Jake Robinson and they
need to recover six canisters of Triple X, a deadly nerve agent that has the
power to knock out entire cities. Admiral Jake Robinson is a legend – Zoe owes
her very existence to him. Over 20 years ago during the Vietnam War, Jake and
his elite team of Navy SEALs undertook missions that no one else dared:
rescuing whole camps of prisoners of war from enemy clutches and in particular,
a team of men who had been left for dead by their superiors in the depths of
the forest, including Zoe’s dad.
