Ex-Navy SEAL Joel Lambert faces off against the U.S. Army's Phantom Recon unit--a battle-tested group of trackers, supremely skilled in hunting down the most elusive of enemy targets. Their turf in southern Arizona is the harsh 75,000 acres of terrain surrounding Fort Huachuca military base, an area home to mountain lions and bears--and a much-favored route of illegal aliens and heavily armed drug smugglers trying to gain passage into the United States. If Phantom Recon weren't intimidating enough, Joel is also being monitored by a squadron of sophisticated unmanned aerial drones, whose cameras have locked in on his every move. With Joel pitted against both top-notch trackers and the latest aerial spyware, will his skills and endurance be enough to get him to a successful extraction before the “enemy” closes in?
