Description
If, like Kane, you’re a Denied Access Area spy for the CIA, then boundaries have no meaning.
Your function is to go in, do whatever is required, and get out again – by whatever means necessary.
You know when to run, when to hide – and when to shoot.
But some places don’t play by the rules.
Some places are too dangerous, even for a man of Kane’s experience.
The badlands where the borders of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan meet are such a place – a place where violence is the only way to survive.
Kane travels there to exfiltrate a man with vital information for the safety of the West – but instead he meets an adversary who will take the world to the brink of extinction.
A frightening, clever, vicious man with blood on his hands and vengeance in his heart…
