Description

A covert UN Inspector Corps team in bright green berets storms a lavish African palace, intent on arresting the charismatic Premier of Belderkan. The operation quickly turns violent as the agents unleash a non‑lethal gas grenade, forcing the guards into a stunned trance while the squad races toward a waiting vehicle. The chase sets the tone for a high‑stakes pursuit that will carry the team across continents, toward a looming showdown at the Game Preserve.

At the heart of the story is Harry Read, a hard‑knuckled recruit from a gritty American suburb. Raised among gangs and restless streets, he joined the Corps at eighteen, seeking a purpose beyond the limited horizons of his upbringing. Read’s fierce loyalty to his own code makes him both a skilled marksman and a volatile wildcard, hinting at the internal battles he will face as the mission unfolds.
