In a world of shifting alliances, the United States must con-tend not only with its enemies, but with the constraints set by international politics. But in the fight against terror, there are Americans who will never stop hunting their prey…

Tensions are high after the Sultan of Brunei dies, and his heir decides to make his presence felt on an international scale. After extorting one billion dollars the United Nations, the new sultan then demands that the United States withdraw from the Mariana Islands, including Guam . American American President Thomas Livingstone refuses, and San Francisco is hit with a nightmarish biological attack-the Holy Fire.

Livingstone Knows that the power-mad sultan is respon-sible, but there is no “official” proof. So he turns to his covert Raptor Force-America's invisible weapon in the war on terror. Their job: Extinguish the Holy Fire…with the sultan's blood.
