When the President needs immediate, covert intervention for a crisis too sensitive or desperate for normal channels, Stony Man strikes under the radar and beyond official government protocols.Baptized in the fires of justice, freedom and protection, Stony Man stands for the highest of ideals: dedication to duty and a fierce resolve to defeat those who would brutalize nations.It's called FACOS–Fast Attack Covert Operations Submarine–and is now in the hands of an elusive and violent group known as the Revenge of Allah. This supersub, capable of blistering speed and stealth, carries a first-strike nuclear payload, spelling a new world of terror for America. With orders to recover the stolen prototype or destroy it, Stony Man's mission goes beyond standard «terminate with extreme prejudice.» With the warship poised to strike America's eastern seaboard, failure is not an option and neither is compromise. Stony Man must stop the show before the terrorists go live.
