    About this series

    Welcome to the Philippines outback. It’s a true garden spot, if you happen to like drug running, bush-bound
    revolutionary movements, Balkanized tribal warfare, illegal weapons trading, and kidnapping for fun and profit. It’s
    hostage rescue time once again for Terry Welch’s special operations company. But this is turning out to be one of those
    missions. Starting with no clue as to the hostage’s whereabouts topped off by Welch and his crew having to endure a
    rifle company of hated competitors supposedly sent along for reinforcement.

    Part of the territory for Welch. But then an attack on both companies’ home bases leaves families and friends under
    threat of death and any available support scurrying to defend. Worse, advance team members sent to reconnoiter have
    been taken hostage as well. No help, no backup, team members in the soup.

    Welch knows there’s only one solution: do whatever it takes. This is H Hour. And the fight is on

      BACK IN ACTION Old soldiers never die... except inside, when they lack a reason to live. Old soldier Wes Stauer is dying inside, from sheer lack of purpose. And then comes the knock on the door: ''Our leader's son and heir has been kidnapped. We don't know where he is. We need you to get him back for us. The people who have him are numerous, warlike, and well armed. But money is no object.'' And then old soldiers-sailors and airmen, too-stop fading away and come back into sharp focus.

      War is brutal. Colonel Wes Stauer gets it. He ought to. He was once one of war's most brutal practitioners-not to mention one of its most effective and least bloody. Brutal yes; stupid no. Now, not only must Stauer command his crack outfit of former comrades and pull off yet another miracle mission, he must also harness and direct the brute within himself-a beast he will need in order to destroy an intelligent enemy who is as implacable as Stauer himself. Okay, almost as implacable. There will be war. And there will be warriors like Wes Stauer who have the know-how and, once set in motion, the unstoppable professional drive, to see the bad guys to their graves and destroy every last earthly piece of their nasty legacies.
