SPOILS OF WARThe action smacks of black ops, but Mack Bolan is willing to deal himself into the game at Stony Man's bidding, riding shotgun with Cobra Force Twelve on a mission to round up the worst of the worst, from Africa through the Middle East. It is a quick and dirty sweep of the most wanted of global terror.But Bolan's gut tells him something is wrong from the start, and that Colonel Ben Collins and his force of hardcases are into more than American justice– something that smells like blood and betrayal. Playing it out long enough to separate the truth from the lies, the Stony warrior wades through the slaughter zones, hunting the enemy and watching his back. If some or all of Cobra Force turn out to be vicious, merciless predators hiding behind the Stars and Stripes, they'll learn the sword of justice cuts both ways.

If seconds count and justice demands rapid response and swift action against enemies prepared to unleash terror and mass murder, the covert agency known as Stony Man is the President's last means of delivering answering blows that conventional law enforcement cannot.When bureaucracy gets tangled in its own red tape, the cyber warriors and commandos of Stony Man cross the lines to keep America safe.A Russian nuclear submarine inexplicably runs aground near Seattle, and Stony Man prepares for the worst. But the worst is unthinkable when the true nature of the war game reveals a disenfranchised army of ex-Spetsnaz troops–rabid hard-liners exacting revenge for the lost honour of the once mighty Soviet war machine. Spreading mega death in the form of a mysterious biological agent, they await the final strike in their Black Sea stronghold. Stony Man is more than ready to engage….
