The axis of evil has many arms. The terrorist beast is alive a world away from its Middle Eastern twin. But a new breed of warrior has vowed to destroy the demon wherever it breeds: Detachment Delta. The nightmare of a terrorist strike is one the nation might never awaken from. So, for the first time, Delta Force is uniting with Navy SEALs to prevent that horrific yet all-too-possible assault. A shipment of Scud missiles designed to carry a devastating payload is steaming its way toward the Philippines, courtesy of a mad criminal regime based in North Korea, forcing America's most efficient counter-terrorist task force to ensure the weapons of mass destruction never reach their ultimate destination. Because the countdown has already begun on a terrifying plot which, if Delta Force fails, will transform some of America's biggest cities into lifeless, smoldering ruins.

The United States Army's top-secret and highly elite Delta Force is the front line of defence against terrorists. It accepts a mission, forms its team, and gets the job done in utter silence, with devastating results to those wishing to do the US harm. In this, the second in the series, it is once again up to the Delta Force team to find and eliminate a terrorist threat, saving many lives in the process.

The enemy has struck with no warning, destroying a U. S. fighting ship and taking Americans hostage. There are lives to be saved and a terrorist threat that must be diffused -- permanently -- so the men of Delta Force are on the move. America's first line of defense in the battle against terrorism, they are trained, armed, and ready to take the fight into the monster's stronghold. And for three heroic brothers born into a legendary warrior dynasty, the elimination of the #1 foe of the civilized world is more than a global imperative -- this war is personal.
