Introduction
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
Imagine
a nuclear weapon that fits in a backpack, with the power to annihilate
millions.
Imagine
such power falling into the wrong hands.
You
are Frank Hayden, an elite Delta Force operative recruited by the CIA. Your
mission:
Track down and defuse a weapon of unspeakable destruction known only
as
Red Mercury. The terrorist faction that possesses this devastating device will
stop
at nothing to realize their twisted goals of chaos and fear. Your pursuit of
these
madmen will lead you through some of the deadliest, war-torn locations on
earth.
Your
obsessive quest to track down this potential nightmare is far from a solo
mission.
The Russians claim they are after Red Mercury to prevent a nuclear war.
Can
they be trusted? What about the CIA and its intel?
Figure
it out fast. The fate of millions is in your hands.
