the current international and military environment. It highlights relevant constitutional issues and DC shenanigans. China, Russia, a drug cartel, and an Islamic terrorist group form a secret cabal bent on shocking the US, taking what they want across the globe. With the President focused on securing a trade agreement with China without Senate approval, his actions put Reagan Test Site on Kwajalein Atoll at risk and ignite the tinderbox of the South China Sea. Colonel Seth Grayson and senior officers at the Pentagon must weigh their oath of office to support and defend the constitution against orders from their commander-in-chief. Their faith is tested as they move to defend Kwajalein and secure international trade routes in the South China Sea. The congressional drama of a potential Presidential impeachment, superimposed on the unthinkable scenario of terrorists with nuclear weapons in the US, adds to tense situations at home and overseas.

Colonel Grayson and his wife, Sara, are the central figures in the action on Kwajalein and the Reagan Test Site. Admiral Halsey Burke, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, provides insight into senior-level decisions and taking charge in the Pentagon. Congress is the backdrop for a supercharged impeachment effort. All set in motion by an old Japanese soldier's letter to Grayson's grandfather, Corporal Ralph Grayson, during World War II, bringing Kwajalein front and center.
