On the snow-covered slopes of Utah, the President of the United States has been kidnapped and his SecretService detail massacred. Only one agenthas survived—ex-Navy SEAL Scot Harvath. He doesn’t buy the official line that Middle Eastern terrorists are behind the attack and begins his own campaign to find the truth and exact revenge.

Enjoyed it. Good, not great. I'll continue to read the series and see how it goes. The research into the places in the book is great but a little weak on military technology. Again, first book in the series so I won't hold it against it. Kept me entertained along the same vein as Bourne stories...
