An MI6 team under suspicion of betrayal, tasked with staging a rescue attempt...

Enter Cal Winter and the press-ganged mercenaries of The Firm, tasked with planning a daring assault on a remote, heavily guarded fortress. But Cal has another off-the-books objective: discover the traitor inside the MI6 team, believed to have been turned by the Chinese Ministry of State Security.

Cal's mission becomes a desperate warzone whodunnit, the only prize betrayal or sudden death. Outnumbered and outgunned, Cal's team are hunted by an elite team of Chinese commandos in a blood-soaked game of espionage and deception. As more of The Firm's secrets are revealed, Cal Winter is left with a perilous choice...
