It’s a beautiful day in Manhattan as excited tourists board the floating Air & Space Museum on the USS —until a horrible explosion rips across the flight deck, showering the body parts of innocent people everywhere. The perpetrator is a Middle Eastern mastermind whose previous terrorism plot was foiled at the last minute by Op-Center. Back in Washington, Chase Williams has been put in charge of a brand-new, top-secret organization known only as Black Wasp. Its members, all chosen for their unique set of specialized black-ops skills—martial arts expert Lieutenant Grace Lee, sharpshooter Lance Corporal Jaz Rivette, and JAG attorney and criminologist Major Hamilton Breen—have been assigned to bring the terrorist to justice. But when a terrifying conspiracy involving the creation of a new Islamic State is uncovered, Chase and his team become America’s only line of defense against a ruthless enemy bent on global destruction.
