I vowed, those many, many years ago, that one day I would see his bloodline cease to exist.and now, finally, today, right here, right now, I will see my vow fulfilled. Sergeant First Class Eric O'Dea's routine and somewhat uneventful life quickly becomes anything but routine when he finds himself as a deep undercover operative for a U.S. Army counterintelligence unit. O'Dea's mission is to locate and expose an international espionage ring that is targeting the U.S. Army counterintelligence community and threatening national security. What he doesn't know is that his entire family-his sister, two brothers, wife, children, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law-have been gathered in Saudi Arabia. They are now the enemy's "insurance policy"-and they are expendable. The complex plan of ex-KGB agent Herr Hohen, a man with many names and ties to Middle Eastern countries, and his sexy and competent accomplice leads Eric to the sands of Saudi Arabia. Will Herr Hohen finally put an end to the close-knit, hot-tempered O'Dea family? Eric now faces a life-or-death decision: to breach national security himself and risk the charge of treason-or to attempt to take on the enemy alone.
