**Bombshell revelations in the bowels of Russia…**
Attempting to infiltrate a shadowy private military company, an old foe of Dante Jacoby’s dies spectacularly in Saint Petersburg. The CIA asset takes a whole cadre of mercenaries with him to the grave.
At risk of humiliation, the Kremlin prefers to suppress what happened rather than admit a sole U.S. operative slaughtered nearly a dozen of their own. Dante himself is oblivious. That is until he gets in a war of his own in sun-soaked Santa Cruz, aligning two separate worlds through sheer bad luck.
Snatched by mysterious forces, he soon learns of Ogon Group, a private army so secret and savage they effectively operate as their own rogue state. The Kremlin utilizes their services, sure, but their sadistic leader, Luka Smirnov, serves only himself.
Then, a dark personal discovery about Ogon flips Dante’s world on its head. Sporting the flimsiest of cover stories and possessed by a burning desire for the truth, he heads into the cold to do what the previous asset couldn’t.
Compared to this mission, what he’s done before is child’s play…
