Just another well written solid story by Meyer.Abe and his team, most of whom are newbies, head into Egypt to rescue the Isreali ambassador who's embassy was taken over by jihadists. This mission is at the request of the Isreali's.They are also looking for a VIP Professor Benjamin Rothstein. He happened to be in the embassy when the jihadists hit.Abe and his team make the rescue but Rothstein is gone. He's been removed by the jihadists and ferried out. Seems he's one of the world foremost scientists in the field of chemical weapons, nerve gas. Food for thought there.So begins another great story with Abe and the boys.Abe has few of his orginal team left. Most are newbies in training. Some of them like Jesse Whitefeather, a Lt. in the USMC and a full blooded Apache sniper, are naturals and don't need much training but the majority are green as grass.Abe and his boys are sent after Rothstein who lands in Syria. They have to thread the needle between the Syrian Presidents Army and the Liberation army none of whom want NATO or any other Westerners on Syrian soil.Abe loses quite a few of them when they are fired upon while still in Turkey. Abe has no idea how anyone knew they were even on a mission. He's mad as hell and has lost more of his team.We also get a band of Syrian Jews, one of whom is a beautiful lady, who are eager to assist. Abe finds this lady irresistable and the attraction is mutual.Abe is sick of the jihadists who use kids in suicide vests. He's sick of having to kill kids to save lives. Abe is seriously thinking of getting out. Of course he has to survive Syria and do some deep thinking on the subject.Abe also has a prick of an FBI agent after him. This idiot would have blown the rescue of Abe's son's in 4. Abe had enough of his BS and he and Jesse Whitefeather rescued his boys without the "help" of the FBI. The FBI agent is out for blood. Abe's blood.Just a great solid story and five stars don't nearly cover it.
