When are battle lines are drawn and war comes calling for them at home… can Team Lynx survive the fallout, or will this mission be the one which ends them all? Since leaving the Military, Sage Razlaff, has made it his mission to continue the fight and make the world a safer place for all with a computer as his weapon of choice. He hadn’t quite counted on how hard it would be to be the man calling the shots on Team Lynx’s Ops from the relative safety of their tactical operations center.

The second those lines blur around the team’s comms tech, all bets are off. He’ll do this job as ordered, but his compliance has a price… Sage’s freedom.
