Rogue forces

President Joseph Gardner has pulled American forces out of Iraq. But the region quickly becomes a hot zone, as Kurdish attacks lead the Republic of Turkey to invade northern Iraq. Reluctant to recommit U.S. troops, the commander-in-chief turns to former president Kevin Martindale and retired Air Force Lieutenant- General Patrick McLanahan. Their private firm, Scion Aviation International, is suddenly the only credible armed force in the region. Now America's most lethal military contractor has become more powerful than anyone anticipated - too powerful for even the president to control.
