Bookroo's summary
Lt. Cross and Shadow Squadron face a tense standoff on a hijacked oil rig in Cuban waters. With American mercenaries holding hostages and the Cuban military closing in, the stakes are deadly. Can they navigate this explosive situation without triggering an international incident? The clock is ticking, and every decision could mean life or death.
From the publisher
A Chinese oil rig platform in Cuban waters has been hijacked, forcing Shadow Squadron to intervene. But before Lt. Cross and his men can board the BLACK ANCHOR, they get some startling intel: the mercenaries are American, and they’ve taken hostages. Even worse, the Cuban military is on its way, and they have no concern for the lives of anyone onboard.
