The second Maric book in the Unsung Warrior series.

The Count has finally been unmasked, and traced to a base in the tortuous Albanian mountains. Maric’s reconnaissance team has six days to get in and out with the intel the main NATO/US task force needs to know before it parachutes in.

Then things start to go wrong. The operation is far more than the laundering of blood diamonds to fund the Count’s various criminal interests around the globe. If Maric doesn’t act fast, it will be the rebirth of fundamentalist terrorism on a scale never seen before.

The NATO ground forces are closing on the mountain base when they come under fire from a storm of cruise missiles. Where are they coming from, and how can they be stopped?
