In this explosive series from New York Times bestselling author Harold Coyle and noted military author Barrett Tillman, a new type of war is being fought by private paramilitary companies at the beck and call of the highest bidder. With its military and intelligence agencies spread thin, the United States constantly calls upon these organizations--and Strategic Solutions, Inc., is among the best.          

An SSI team, led by former Rear Admiral Michael Derringer, is in Chad on a relatively simple military-training mission. Their task soon turns into a high-stakes game of nuclear brinkmanship when they stumble across a plot to extract and smuggle yellowcake – the base fuel for nuclear weapons. Tracking the operation to a remote, supposedly abandoned mine in the desert, Derringer and the SSI task force launch an attack but are unable to halt the yellowcake shipment. With time running out, the SSI teams must locate a ship in international waters and retrieve its deadly cargo – by any means necessary.

PART IARLINGTON1MASSENYA, CHAD"Bugger me, they're at it again!"Gunfire erupted fifty meters away as Warrant Officer Derrick Martin wiped his hands on his "spotty dots" camouflage trousers and unslung his Steyr F88C assault rifle. Peering 'round the corner of the bullet-pocked market front, he was glad not for the first time that he had violated orders in carrying his personal weapon in the "blood box" armored ambulance. "Presence" was fine and good when all you wanted to do was impress the locals.

Reviews

Praise for Prometheus's Child

“Coyle is a master at high-tech suspense. He spins his story with such power that you’re swept along to the climactic finish.”--Clive Cussler

“Action-filled revenge fantasy for desk-bound Terminators.”—Kirkus Reviews on Harold Coyle’s Strategic Solutions: Pandora’s Legion

“The Tom Clancy of ground warfare.”--W.E.B. Griffin

“Coyle is best when he’s depicting soldiers facing death . .  . He knows soldiers, and he understands the brotherhood-of-arms mystique that transcends national boundaries.”--The New York Times

“Nobody knows war like Harold Coyle, and nobody writes it better.”--Stephen Coonts

“Coyle has been dubbed the Tom Clancy of ground warfare, and it’s easy to see why. He focuses on the grunts because no matter how fancy the weapons are, eventually the military has to send in men to take and hold territory.”--New York Post
