Series: Damien Hunter Action Novel

When nations clash and cartels bleed, only Taipan One Six can cut through the chaos.

The world’s dirtiest war just got personal.

Damien Hunter, commander of Taipan One Six, is pulled from the heat of Oman and thrown into a global firestorm. A Guatemalan drug lord’s family has been hijacked by Japanese operatives in a brutal power play. The target: his defiant daughter, Isabella. The stakes: control of the global narcotics trade.

From African swamps to Ukrainian war zones, Damien’s mission spirals into a high-risk pursuit across continents. The hijackers crash-land behind Russian lines. Japanese mercenaries parachute into the combat zone. Ukrainian special forces join the fight. And in the shadows, every side wants blood.

Outgunned and outnumbered, Taipan One Six must slice through mercenaries, militants, and missile fire to bring Isabella out alive. But when the mission ends, a new enemy rises – and he wants revenge.

In the world of black ops, survival is never guaranteed.
