With his granddaughters Becky and Sherri firmly entrenched in his friend Ivan's organization in Costa Rica and his grandson Kevin positioned to go into the Marine Corps Mac thought maybe he could see retirement on the horizon. Little did he realize that the Middle East had other plans. After running head-on into Mac on their first attempt to bring a major operation to American soil the terrorists backed off and regrouped.

Using every resource available to him Mac fought not only to win the battle but also to not cross the line that would destroy the country he loved and had spent his life defending.
