Synopsis: Crisis erupts in the South China Sea when Triad pirates seize two of China’s new DF-21 “carrier-killer” missiles. In desperation, the Oval Office turns to Stony Man Farm for a rapid, strategic response to halt the immediate threat to U.S. warships. Mack Bolan’s mission in Jakarta becomes twofold: neutralize the pirate base and stop the sale of the missiles to the highest bidders.
The threat escalates when the U.S. rejects the pirates’ demands and the Triad proves only too willing to give the U.S. a demonstration of the missiles’ lethal power. As violence spreads throughout Indonesia, Bolan and a rescued Chinese spy push on through mounting assaults to the final showdown deep within the terrorists’ jungle stronghold. But can they defeat a determined enemy that’s got everything to lose?
