Synopsis: OPTIMUM HIT
The kidnapping of a high-ranking U.S. intelligence official by Somali pirates requires a quick and dirty extraction, and Bolan is tapped for the mission. But when its successful completion red-flags covert data indicating an imminent attack on U.S. soil, the situation turns hard and deadly.
Bolan’s prime directive from the Oval Office is clear: connect the dots of the terrorist cells in New York to find the target and bury the trail. America doesn't want—or need—a new war, especially as a crucial United Nations vote on nuclear arms is days away. When the dirty business leads back to Iran, Bolan's only shot is to go undercover in Tehran. Here, seconds count as he races to eliminate the power behind the threat and stop an enemy taking aim at America's heart with intent to kill.
