Unleashing a laser weapon prototype, unidentified terrorists have destroyed several American satellites in a daring move to put government officials and policy makers in a choke hold. Their demand: remove all American forces from Serbia and the Balkans.

But the endgame awaits in Africa, where an insidious enemy continues its unrelenting bid to bring America to its knees.

A new century has dawned. But for the Executioner, the war is everlasting.
