Thomas Crocker’s SEAL Team Six staff deploys to the Nigerian jungle to combat arms and human trafficking by Boko Haram, in Don Mann and Ralph Pezzullo’s most recent fiercely authentic army thriller.

The charismatic Boko Haram leader Ratty Festus, also called the Leopard, continues to be terrorizing drought-ridden northeastern Nigeria: raiding villages, blowing up government buildings, and kidnapping schoolgirls. When Thomas Crocker and his Dark Cell group, who are in the country on a special about SEAL Team Six: Hunt the Leopard schooling mission, hear about a possible arms-for-schoolgirls exchange between Boko Haram and a Russian arms dealer for the Cameroon border, they convince a Nigerian Particular Forces unit to join them in trying to stop it. The operation quickly will go south, with a dangerous helicopter crash and an ambush. They can’t manage to save every one of the girls, despite having the help of a quick-thinking group of British private-security contractors.

Seven days later, the Leopard seizes control of a $500-million money Gulf Oil gas vegetable, demanding a $50-million money ransom and safe and sound passage from the substance. Crocker has just 24 hours to program and execute a high-risk, low-probability, mission to recovery all eighty innocent hostages–including two of his personal who are caught with the civilians.
