When the terrorist group known as al-Mimkhalif wages war on the high seas, Brannigan's Brigands prepare to take down the enemy, until they discover that one of their own is deep undercover in the al-Mimkhalif organization and holds the fate of their mission in his hands.

In Afghanistan, a British deserter and a fanatical Iranian special forces commander are both working for extremists who want to take over the Middle East. They've prepared a surprise for Brannigan's Brigands-one that the SEALs may not survive.

Into The Fire The incoming hurricane of flying steel pounding into the SEAL positions grew with each passing moment. Bullets whined and cracked through the air around the Americans, some clipping the taller blades of grass. It was obvious to everyone that the enemy had night vision equipment and was well prepared to deal with sneak attacks; especially those that happened during the hours of darkness. But like the SEALs, this evening's violence made it impossible for them to deliver accurate fire. Brannigan knew the tiger was now tested; and he was tough, efficient and professional. Now was the time to break contact. The Skipper thought quickly, almost instinctively reaching the decision to withdraw fire teams from the ends first to leave the center of his battle line as strong as possible. He once more grabbed the radio handset. "Fire Team Delta, this is Brigand. Break contact and withdraw a hundred meters to the rear. For God's sake keep your heads down! The incoming fire is as thick as swarms of hornets . . ."

Brannigan's Brigands are patrolling the Afghanistan/Iran border in high-tech vehicles when they meet a mobile corps of Iranian Special Forces who have their own agenda-to conquer. Now, Brannigan and his SEALs are targeted to be the first infidels to die in the terrorists' quest to establish no less than a modern day Persian Empire.
