THE SECOND INSTALLMENT OF THE RIVETING NEW THRILLER SERIES BY FORMER GREEN BERET AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR JASON KASPER "David Rivers is back with a vengeance in the Shadow Strike series, and the stakes have never been higher-or more personal." -Steven Konkoly, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Ryan Decker Series When a terrorist attack leaves more questions than answers, David Rivers and his team are sent to uncover the mastermind. After the largest terrorist attack in US history is narrowly foiled, the sole enemy survivor has only one name to provide his interrogators: Ghulam Samedi. But Samedi is a fugitive in the rugged mountains of China's Xinjiang Province, where opium smugglers, a violent separatist movement, and secret police make every mile of ground fraught with danger. As part of the CIA's newly-minted targeted killing program, Rivers and his team of Agency contractors are tasked with assassinating Samedi. Once they are inside China, there will be no backup, no air support, no escape-only a handful of local assets with dubious motivations. Rivers' team of former mercenaries was assembled for these kinds of covert operations: they are unilateral, unattributable, and if things go wrong, utterly expendable. As they embark on their most challenging mission yet, they will stop at nothing to hunt down Samedi...the last target standing between them and a sinister conspiracy with global implications.
