The Gray Man meets “The Most Dangerous Game” in this military thriller from a US Special Forces veteran turned investigative journalist.

There are rumors that in some corners of the world, wildlife poachers have become the prey themselves—hunted for sport: the sport of one man hunting another.

Staff Sgt. Jeremy Lopez is a US Army Ranger serving in the highly secretive Regimental Reconnaissance Company, providing support on covert missions in West Africa. When Lopez accepts the wrong drink in the wrong bar from the wrong woman, her face is the last thing he remembers before waking up in a locked, dirty cell.

It soon becomes clear that this is no government facility–this is a holding cell for an elite hunting party, and Lopez has been chosen as their next quarry. These hunters started killing poachers who crossed their paths, and they’ve been building toward a more challenging game.

But Lopez isn’t prey: He’s a hunter himself. When he’s set loose into the wilds, Lopez knows that he’ll need to get to work and do his job: survive, evade, escape, and kill.

Former US Army Ranger and Green Beret Jack Murphy delivers a military thriller that’s as urgent and technically accurate as it is explosive, perfect for fans of Mark Greaney and Jack Carr.
