Op de grens tussen de Verenigde Staten en Mexico woedt een verhitte drugsoorlog. Het aantal onschuldige slachtoffers loopt in de tienduizenden. Van alle kartels is Los Zetas de meest gewelddadige. De leden maakten vroeger deel uit van de Mexicaanse geheime dienst, maar zijn het slechte pad op gegaan. Ze behoren daardoor tot de meest meedogenloze en best getrainde criminelen ter wereld. Dat is waarom alleen de meest meedogenloze en best getrainde geheime dienst ter wereld ze een halt kan toeroepen. Het team van SAS-legende Danny Black gaat undercover en probeert de geheimzinnige, ongrijpbare leider Z1 uit zijn schuilplaats te lokken. Maar het kartel blijkt meer macht te hebben dan gedacht en de strategieën van de leden zijn buitengewoon bloeddorstig. Als het SAS-team wil doordringen in het hart van het kartel, moeten ze tot het uiterste gaan.

Tegelijkertijd infiltreert Siobhan Byrne, een goed getrainde undercoveragente in Belfast, in het wereldje van een voormalige IRA-commandant die drugshandelaar is geworden. Jack en Siobhan kennen elkaar niet, en niemand kan vermoeden hoe dicht hun op het eerste gezicht zo verschillende missies bij elkaar liggen, en wat er op het spel staat. Tot de president van de Verenigde Staten op het punt staat een bezoek aan Engeland te brengen en er een vernietigend complot aan het licht komt.

In Noord-Afrika krijgt de jonge sas-militair Danny Black een nieuwe missie: het begeleiden van een mi6-agent die contact moet leggen met de Syrische rebellen en de huurlingen die hen trainen.

In deze verraderlijke omgeving komt Danny achter een geheim dat zijn leven zal veranderen. Als hij tenminste in leven kan blijven...

Helmand Provincie, Afghanistan. De Taliban zijn in opkomst. Een topgeheime SAS-killteam vermoordt hooggeplaatste doelwitten. Het is bloederig, gewelddadig en meedogenloos werk, alleen geschikt voor de meest bekwame en genadeloze jagers van het Regiment. Danny Black sluit zich aan bij het killteam, maar al snel ontdekt hij dat de Taliban niet zijn enige probleem zijn. Er zijn elementen binnen het Britse leger die de SAS ter verantwoording willen roepen. En er zijn elementen binnen de SAS die hun vizier op Danny zelf hebben gericht. Vals beschuldigd van een afschuwelijke oorlogsmisdaad, wordt Danny zelf het doelwit in een wrede, gevaarlijke omgeving waar zijn verstand, training en kracht mogelijk niet genoeg zijn om te overleven. In een wereld waar zijn vijanden dichterbij zijn dan hij ooit had kunnen denken, moet hij alles op alles zetten om de waarheid te achterhalen. Als hij faalt, betekent dat niet alleen het einde van Danny Black, maar ook van de SAS zelf.

Ook verwikkeld in het complot zijn een uitgerangeerde Saoedische prins die zich achter de rug van zijn familie om gruwelijk misdraagt met drugs, drank en vrouwen, en een verbitterde ex-militair die de SAS in diskrediet probeert te brengen. Danny komt terecht in een trainingskamp in Jemen, maar juist als hij de vijand in het vizier heeft, ontdekt hij dat ze hem een stap voor zijn. Hij vermoedt dat iemand in zijn nabije omgeving hem bewust heeft misleid.

Chris Ryan se narodil u Newcastlu v roce 1961. Do 22. Pluku SAS vstoupil v roce 1984. Během deseti let své služby se podílel na řadě bojových i utajovaných operací. Byl velitelem odstřelovačů v rámci protiteroristického týmu. Během První války v Perském zálivu byl jediným z osmičlenné jednotky, kterému se po neúspěšné akci podařilo uniknout z území Iráku. Tři jeho kolegové tehdy zahynuli, čtyři padli do zajetí. Chris Ryan byl oceněn Vojenskou medailí za nejdelší únik před nepřítelem v dějinách SAS.
