Sultan Gadaffi has escaped from Libya with a fistful of dangerous secrets. The British Government wants ex-Special Forces operative Steve Range to lead an ultra-covert mercenary group to seize him from his near-impregnable desert stronghold.

Steve Range thinks his friend Randy is a corpse in the desert - until he reappears in an Al Qaeda video, spitting extremist hate and challenging Range to a desert battle. A stray word slipped in to Randy's tirade makes Range begin to wonder whether his old comrade-in-arms really has been turned. All he knows for sure is that he owes a debt to the man he left for dead.
