A high-octane action-packed novel that punches right to the heart of the Matthew Reilly market. E-FORCE: Six gifted, super-fit, highly trained individuals. MISSION: Specialist rescue in times of global emergency. The Emergency Force team - including Marine Mark Harrison, Shuttle pilot Michaela Buchanan and Cyber genius Tom Erickson - employs some of the most advanced equipment on the planet: from Mach-10 jets to incredible cybersuits. And they'll need all that gadgetry for their first mission - to save the life of US Senator Kyle Foreman. Foreman was giving a speech in LA when two bombs ripped through the Conference Centre. Miraculously Foreman survives - except he's trapped inside, as fires rage and floors collapse. But as E-Force plan their perilous route into the building, so too does The Dragon, the assassin who will let nothing stop his deadly mission.
