Publication Information
Violence and tensions along the U.S.-Mexican border have never been higher, sparked by battles between rival drug lords and an increased flow of illegal migrants. To combat the threat, the United States has executed Operation Rampart: a controversial test base in Southern California run by Major Richter and TALON, his high-tech special operations unit.
"Some readers may find the lack of any radical Islamic threat in 2007 a bit hard to swallow, while the escalation of tensions with Mexico.... also takes quite a bit of suspension of disbelief." - Publishers Weekly.
