Dust Storm — Jack Slater

Before the Agency came Delta.
Before Delta was the Army Rangers.
That's where Jason Trapp was made.

Iraq, 2007. It's the height of the insurgency. The roads are almost impassable. IEDs kill American soldiers every single day. Tens of thousands of fresh troops are pouring into the country, and they're barely holding the line.

But after dark, Delta Force, SEALs and Rangers are starting to turn the tide. Every single night, Trapp is out with them, kicking down doors and taking names.

Now there's a new threat.

American hopes in Iraq rest on control of the skies. Her enemies know that, Iran chief among them. But when countries quarrel, it's soldiers who do the fighting.

And sometimes one man shapes a nation's course.

The Dust Storm novella takes Jason Trapp right back to the start. He wasn't always the CIA's most feared asset. But he was always the Hangman.
