A nightmare born in the Middle Eastern desert has spread to the jungles of the Philippines. Abu Sayyaf, a ruthless Muslim extremist organization, has become bolder and deadlier, increasing the frequency and severity of its brutal acts of terror, and Mac Rainey and his elite Team Dogma are being dispatched to assist the Filipino Marines in dealing with the threat. But the CIA is keeping Rainey'sgroup in the dark about their true purpose: to act as human bait in the Company's attempts to hook two enemy collaborators: a high-ranking officer and a Filipino senator. Unaware that they are walking into a trap, the men of Dogma are ambushed, and two of their number are taken prisoner by a bloodthirsty sadist. And suddenly the mission is crystal clear for the warriors remaining: go in as three, with weapons blazing, and come back out as five -- or die as one.
