Troy Jensen could do it all: he conquered the Seven Summits, sailed solo around the world twice, and even fought a bull in a Mexican slum on a dare. So when word comes that a rogue wave has swept Troy off a crab fishing boat in the Bering Sea and into a watery grave, his brother, Jack, doesn't buy it.

Against his better judgment, Jack decides to quit his job as a Wall Street trader and head to Dutch Harbor, Alaska, to investigate. Minutes after revealing his plan in his father's New York City office, Jack is nearly run down in the street. He doesn't think much of it at the time, but as he digs deeper into Troy's disappearance, Jack unearths information about RED-CELL-SEVEN (RCS), a super-secret American intelligence group that has operated for forty years in almost total secrecy and with complete impunity - and its leaders intend to keep it that way at any cost.

Dodging bullets as he makes his way to Dutch Harbor, Jack connects the dots that link Troy with RCS. And when he realizes that it's impossible to return to his old life, Jack charges headlong into the deepest recesses of America's most secret and feared intel group in order to uncover the truth about Troy's disappearance. Along the way, Jack learns that the civilian world's rules of fair play don't apply to this brutal new world that has swallowed him whole - especially when he crosses paths with the leader of RCS, a man firmly committed to destroying America in order to protect it.

An adrenaline-pumping tale of one man's descent into a hellish underworld populated by terrorists, assassins, and very bad 'good guys,' Arctic Fire explores the disturbing difference between doing what is good and doing what is right when it comes to protecting America from her greatest enemies.
