Salam al Fayed, or Fade, is an Arab American, and a Navy Seal with a heroic past when, on a tour in the Gulf, he is shot. It takes his team six months to find him and get him out, and when they do, it’s to discover a bullet lodged next to his spine. With expensive surgery the only way to get it out, the US Government refuses to pay, knowing the bullet will one day shift and paralyse him.

Two years later Matt Egan is brought in to create a division that will ensure the safety of America’s citizens. They need a man on the team with an Arab background, and Fade fits the bill. It’s Egan’s job to bring him back into the game, whatever his doubts. But Fade is holding a grudge, and he’s a man with nothing to lose.
