CIA paramilitary operative Matt Garrett is mysteriously yanked from the Northwest Frontier Province of Pakistan as he closes in for the kill of al Qaeda senior leadership. With unfinished business in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the nation suddenly on a bullett train to combat in Iraq, Matt is abruptly given an obscure assignment in China and the Phillipines. As he sifts through the wreckage of a destroyed C-130 aircraft in the Phillipine jungle, he finds a dead U.S. Special Forces paratrooper and begins to question the path that placed him on the periphery of the Global War on Terror. Pursued by a militia of Muslim insurgents, Matt stumbles upon a weapons factory guarded by Japanese soldiers in the uncharted rain forests of Mindanao. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Matt, his brother, U.S. Army Captain Zachary Garrett, is rapidly deployed with his infantry company to guard an ammunition stockpile in an old US Navy base near Manila.
