- The
- drug
- wars
- have
- left
- 160,000
- dead
- in
- the
- past
- six
- years.
- But
- the
- war
- is
- no
- closer
- to
- an
- end..Each
- time
- the
- Mexican
- police
- make
- some
- headway,
- the
- cartels
- gain
- more
- sophisticated
- arms
- and
- tactics.
- While
- the
- federales
- vastly
- outnumber
- them,
- the
- cartels
- seem
- to
- anticipate
- their
- every
- move.Into
- that
- maelstrom
- walks
- Paul
- Decker
- and
- his
- new
- family.
- Paul
- has
- retired
- from
- the
- CIA
- and
- desires
- no
- more
- than
- to
- raise
- his
- family,
- regain
- his
- peace
- of
- mind,
- and
- fulfill
- the
- promises
- he
- has
- made
- to
- Lydia
- and
- the
- children…promises
- he
- failed
- to
- complete
- with
- his
- first
- family.But
- all
- that
- comes
- to
- a
- violent
- end
- on
- the
- streets
- of
- Ciudad
- Juarez.Paul
- goes
- after
- the
- killers,
- however,
- what
- he
- learns
- makes
- his
- revenge
- seem
- small
- and
- personal
- in
- perspective.
- The
- Cartels
- are
- being
- armed
- and
- provided
- intelligence
- by
- the
- ATF
- and
- DEA
- who
- desire
- to
- foment
- violence
- in
- order
- to
- build
- their
- organizations
- and
- become
- indispensable.
- The
- U.S.
- Administration
- is
- seeking
- to
- use
- the
- violence
- as
- an
- excuse
- to
- pass
- gun
- legislation
- in
- the
- U.S.
- and
- will
- go
- even
- further
- –
- declaring
- Mexico
- a
- failed
- state
- and
- take
- over
- the
- country.Even
- with
- all
- his
- training,
- Paul
- is
- no
- match
- for
- the
- cartels.
- So
- he
- teams
- up
- with
- Gabriella
- -
- a
- brave
- female
- Mexican
- Federale
- –
- and
- an
- elite
- team
- of
- mercenaries,
- veterans
- of
- the
- Iraq,
- Afghanistan,
- and
- Libyan
- campaigns.
- Together,
- they
- are
- intent
- on
- taking
- down
- the
- cartels,
- restoring
- the
- rule
- of
- law
- to
- Mexico
- and
- bringing
- peace
- to
- the
- country.The
- war
- on
- drugs
- is
- really
- a
- war
- to
- maintain
- the
- drug
- trade…even
- if
- the
- cost
- is
- another
- one
- hundred
- thousand
- lives.As
- Paul
- and
- his
- team
- close
- in
- on
- the
- rogue
- forces
- in
- the
- U.S.
- government
- and
- the
- cartels,
- the
- forces
- aligned
- against
- them
- grow
- stronger
- and
- more determined.
