FORTRESS: A Military Thriller (The Rogue State series)

THEY TRAINED HIM TO DEFEND AMERICA. NOW HE MIGHT BE THE REASON IT FALLS. After a classified mission, Delta Force operator Vann Jackson returns to the US embassy in Baghdad—infected with a bloodthirsty virus. When he snaps in the chow hall, the violence is brutal—and the outbreak unstoppable. As the infection spreads, the world’s most secretive embassy plunges into chaos. Soldiers, staff, and diplomats are cut off and surrounded— and turning on each other. Trapped inside the compound, the desperate survivors prepare for a final stand as they beg for help. But the White House has its own plan: no rescue, and no witnesses. For the surviving Delta operators, Marines, and civilians, the choice is simple—escape or die.
