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.
