Más información sobre el libro

In the 21st Century, the landscape of war and espionage has dramatically changed. With the CIA struggling and military resources stretched thin, the U.S. government increasingly relies on private corporations to fulfill special operations needs. Firms like Blackwater USA and Triple Canopy now deploy over 50,000 private soldiers and spies for missions once reserved for military and intelligence agencies. This outsourcing of national security has led to new dynamics in counterterrorism. Camille Black, a former CIA counterterrorism officer, establishes Black Management, a private corporation that provides ex-Special Forces operators and CIA agents for covert operations. Active in the volatile Middle East, her company competes fiercely in the counterterrorism arena. When the CIA enlists Camille to track down her ex-fiancé, Hunter Stone—a Pentagon spy accused of selling arms to terrorists—she grapples with lingering feelings while driven by his betrayal. As she navigates the dangers of the War on Terror, Camille finds herself entangled in a web of deceit between the Pentagon and the CIA, where moral lines blur and trust is a commodity. This gripping narrative offers a rare, well-researched glimpse into the operations of private corporations in the multi-billion dollar War on Terror, delivering an exhilarating thriller that resonates with contemporary issues.
