Synopsis: STONY MAN
Only a few know of their existence, but the lives of millions lie in their hands. An elite, covert counterterrorist team acting under the President, Stony Man comprises the best cyber technicians and military warriors in the world. Their goal is to fight terror anywhere and anytime—even if it means sacrificing their lives in the process.
PERILOUS SKIES
When billion-dollar stealth technology drops to bargain prices, governments and drug cartels around the world want in on the action. Suddenly, hotspots are cropping up everywhere, and even the United States can feel its military security slipping away. No country is safe unless Stony Man’s command can find a way to destroy the technology. Determined to stop war from erupting, Able Team is sent to find the brain behind the stealth tech, while Phoenix Force infiltrates China to destroy the manufacturing plant. But time is of the essence. And the clock is already counting down.
