When the guns of war finally fall silent, a vengeful enemy vows to add another chapter to the bloodstained pages of history . . . by hunting down the soldier named Jamie Ian MacCallister.

They might be inexperienced. But one thing is certain: be it from heaven above or hell below ... vengeance is coming."
