'Delta Force operator Lee McCloud has single-mindedly tried to overcome the shame of witnessing his sister abducted when he was fourteen. So when family friend Jack calls desperate for help after his daughter Sophia is kidnapped in Mexico, it's an opportunity to deliver some badly needed justice and redeem his self-respect.

The operation goes pear shaped and McCloud finds himself teamed with Tally, a computer genius who works for a CIA front that seizes the funds of wealthy terrorist backers. Determined to save Sophia at all costs, McCloud enlists the aid of Scotty, a British SAS soldier. They find themselves on a collision course with an exiled Saudi, Sheik Khalid, whose ambitions feature a key role for Sophia. McCloud and Tally find themselves trapped in a conspiracy, hunted by enemies on both sides, and conflicted by their feelings for each other.

But time is running out. With their haunted pasts catching up, McCloud and Tally need to stop a horrific plot involving Sophia that will have profound consequences for an already unstable world.' Source: www.ianwalkley.com/ (Sighted 19/04/2012).
