“It wasn’t like breaking into a prison was on my bucket list. But then again, neither was helping terrorists stage a jailbreak. And yet, here I was.”
A prison break. Betrayals. Battle for survival.
September 2014. Yemen’s going up in flames, and Americans are caught in the inferno. Delta Force Captain Axel Blaze is sent straight into the
fire to extract Khalid Al-Mansour, an Al-Qaeda moneyman turned informant. Khalid promises intel that could save American lives, but it
comes at a price— his sons must be rescued from a rebel-controlled prison deep in hostile territory.
Blaze’s team pulls off the high-risk breakout, but the fallout is deadly. A chain of betrayals is set off. One of Khalid’s sons turns
traitor, leading Al-Qaeda right to the US embassy. Trapped, outnumbered, and fighting on hostile ground, Blaze and his team face a ruthless enemy
and impossible odds.
But this isn’t just about survival—this is about sending a message.
Blaze won’t just hold the line—he’ll blow the enemy to hell.
