Top-ranked Marine sniper
Kyle Swanson was a promising young Marine on a dangerous peace-keeping
mission in Mogadishu when he first captured "the Cobra", and it could
have cost him his life—had it not been for the schoolteacher who risked
her own to save him.Now Swanson is sent on a mission to track down
two targets—one is the Cobra, the warlord who spent twenty years in
prison after Swanson captured him and is now back in charge of the
strong Somali underworld, vowing vengeance on the Marine; the other is
the grandson of the schoolteacher who once saved his life, who has
joined the Cobra’s army of terror.
The boy had been swept up in a
Detroit-based Somali gang that terrorized the American Midwest and
Canada before fleeing back to the protection of the Cobra. His
grandmother swears he’s innocent, but the CIA tells Kyle to kill him
before taking out the Cobra. To find the truth and accomplish his
mission, Swanson must return to the one place he had hoped he’d never
see again, the daunting hovels of Mogadishu—where the Cobra lies in
wait.
