Lie of Duty

As coalition forces prepare to launch Operation Desert Storm, six Apache attack helicopters race toward the Iraqi border to assault an early warning radar system — to create a breach for the coalition bombers. Concealed behind enemy lines is Master Gunnery Sergeant Hank Schiller, a Marine Corps sniper inserted before the assault to scout Iraqi radar.

In the pitch-black skies over the Saudi-Iraqi desert radio problems spell disaster for the assault as several of the Apaches collide. After rescuing the survivors Schiller’s helicopter is ordered to locate a downed Saudi pilot, but unwilling to risk the wounded Schiller goes it alone.

Two decades later, Schiller, and a handful of soldiers, whose friendships were galvanized on the battlefield operate a state-of-the-art security-consulting firm — a firm that specializes in finding security breaches at US bases.

When a group of terrorists, lead by a traitor, tries to steal a top secret weapons system from a weapons laboratory in California while Schiller is on site evaluating their security for the Department of Energy — unleashing a chain of events that could ultimately lead to a nuclear holocaust on US soil.

In their attempt to silence Schiller the terrorists kill his fiancée. He becomes torn between his obsession to take his revenge on them — and his duty as a soldier.
Using every weapon at their disposal, Schiller and his men race time to hunt down the terrorists before they can turn over the weapons system to a rogue Chinese intelligence officer — or detonate the nuclear device in an American city.

A no-quarter game of treachery and denial ensues with blood and casualties on both sides. After an intense battle Schiller discovers that the real traitor was not one of the bodies...and he must use all of his cunning to find him.
