A modern military thriller set in the war in Ukraine -- perfect for fans of Jack Carr and The Gray Man.

"Fast, brutal, and frighteningly realistic modern warfare."

Luke Ryder survived America's wars.

But the most dangerous mission of his life is about to begin.

A deniable mission.
A Russian intelligence target.
No way out.

Former Army Ranger Luke Ryder had returned home to the mountains of Idaho, trying to leave the battlefield behind.

Then the call came.

A covert mission inside Russian-occupied Ukraine -- the kind of operation governments deny even exists.

The target:
A high-ranking GRU intelligence officer coordinating Russian operations near the front lines.

The orders are simple.

Kill the target.
Get out.

Luke joins Aegis -- a covert team of former special operations veterans who fight the wars governments deny.

Their insertion takes them deep behind Russian lines into a battlefield ruled by:

? combat drones
? artillery strikes
? trench warfare
? armored assaults
? relentless Russian counterintelligence

The mission should take minutes.

Instead, the strike explodes into a violent urban firefight inside a civilian apartment complex -- triggering a massive Russian manhunt.

Now the team is trapped behind enemy lines.

Russian forces lock down the city.

Extraction routes vanish.

And every Russian unit in the region is hunting them.

To survive, Luke must lead his team through active combat zones, Russian patrols, and a battlefield collapsing into chaos.

Because if they're captured, there will be no prisoner exchange.

No rescue.

No record they were ever there.

And the mission still isn't finished.
