Sergeant Warren Parish is a dangerous man--in more ways than his military training would explain. Nowhere in the world is this more clear than war-torn Iraq, where his "special skill set" is crucial on more than one deadly occasion. When a new enemy arises out of the ashes of southern Baghdad, Warren's unit must rely on the help of an unlikely ally: private military contractors from Claymore Worldwide Security. With them is a woman. Skilled. Sexy. And absolutely lethal. It doesn't take long for Warren to realize her set of superpowers might even rival his own. But discovering her truth will have to wait. First, they must make it back from their mission alive.
