Two months after taking down terrorist Aleksandr
Zakayev, Eric Steele is back in action. Though he
is completing his Alpha assignments with the same
deadly efficiency as always, he has lingering questions
about his missing father—and his own future in the
Program.

When Steele gets the alert that a fellow Alpha is in
serious trouble, he rushes to Paris—only to arrive too
late. Jonathan Raines, Stalker Six, is dead, the victim
of a brutal attack. While on leave in the City of Light,
Raines had met an attractive art historian who lured
him into a trap. Before she vanished, the mysterious
woman left a warning for anyone from the Alpha
program who might follow her.

One of the best and most effective warriors in the
top-secret Program, Steele has been trained to take on
enemies, and no threat will deter him from avenging
a fallen brother. But the killer won’t be easy to find.
The search takes Steele around the world, from France,
to the Adriatic coast of Italy, to the outskirts of
Aleppo, Syria, and to a top-secret prison in Russia—
where, unexpectedly, he finds more clues about his
father—before finally taking him back to the streets of
Washington, D.C.

No one is safe while the killer is on the loose, and
the danger is heightened when Steele discovers intel
that killing Alphas is just the beginning of a larger,
more nefarious plot. The real target is much, much
bigger—and it’s up to Steele to prevent catastrophe
before he becomes the next elite warrior to fall.
