The Guardian Corps is facing its final, most unprecedented challenge. Lt. Gen. Allison Cole, now a three-star general, issues a private summons to the veterans she trusts above all others to counter an emerging global threat that operates in the shadows of cyber-attacks and psychological warfare. For Colonel Marcus Vance and First Sergeant David Thompson, the call comes just as they are preparing to step into the quiet of retirement, forcing them to choose between the peace they’ve earned and one last 'dance' in the field.As the original cast assembles at a secret location, the ranks have changed but the old ghosts remain. Master Sergeant Liam O’Connell and LTC Julian Reed must reconcile their past professional rifts with the immediate demands of a high-stakes mission. From the final reconnaissance flight of CW2 Alex Chen to the introduction of a new generation of proteges, the team must decide if they are fighting for a mission, a country, or the legacy they will leave behind.
