ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Id like to thank my editor, Mr. Tom Colgan, for this great opportunity.
Mr. Tom Clancy and all of the folks at Ubisoft who created the Ghost Recon game certainly deserve my gratitude, as well as the following individuals:
Mr. Sam Strachman of Longtail Studios helped me develop this story from the ground up. His contributions were great, and his willingness to take risks with the story and characters was deeply appreciated.
Mr. James Ide served as my military researcher and story expert. He reviewed every page, relying on his extensive military background to provide criticism, advice, and suggestions that greatly improved the manuscript.
Finally, Nancy, Lauren, and Kendall Telep offered their eternal patience and support. Every manuscript is a battle, and Im fortunate to have these ladies in my platoon.
Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand,
Blood and revenge are hammering in my head.
Titus Andronicus, Act II, sc. 3, 1. 38
The sword is ever suspended.
Voltaire
PROLOGUE
You think Im guilty? I ask her.
She smirks. My opinion doesnt matter.
It does to me.
How do you expect me to formulate an opinion when I dont know your story?
I sigh through a curse.
My name is Captain Scott Mitchell, United States Army. Im a member of a Special Forces group called the Ghosts. When Im on the job, out on a mission, I dont exist. Id thought we operated with impunity.
But when I was ordered back home and confined to quarters, I realized everything had changed. The same organization that helped conceal my operations and erase all evidence of the people Id killed had been forced to make an example of me. They had changed. I had changed. And we could never go back.
People dont have to talk. They can invite you to kiss them... or even kill them with their eyes. Talk is cheap, but Ive crawled through enough rat holes to learn that for some, life is even cheaper.
I had permission. I did what I had to do. They say I had a choice, but I didnt. I have never done anything more difficult in my life.
