Raymond Walker, a former U.S. Navy SEAL Master Chief known by his codename "Ghost Dog," is a living legend within the special operations community. After a decorated career marked by countless missions behind enemy lines, he walks away from it all following his final medal ceremony, retreating to the quiet coastal town of Portview, California, where he opens a small surf shop and tries to leave the war behind.
Eight years later, his peace is shattered. A Russian crime syndicate moves into town, and Taylor — the son of his old friend Sheriff Jim — is abducted. Raymond is forced out of the shadows, taking on an entire criminal organization single-handedly. But it is only the beginning: Hassan, an elusive international terrorist leader, has set his sights on Portview, and a deadly crisis involving hundreds of hostages quietly unfolds.
From abandoned dockside warehouses to pirate-held cruise liners in the Indian Ocean, from naval base command rooms to terrorist strongholds deep in the desert, Raymond draws on his unmatched combat skills and tactical brilliance to turn the tide again and again. He shares a bond of loyalty and rivalry with his former commander, Colonel Mark Harrison, faces Hassan in a fateful showdown, and must choose between personal vengeance and duty to his country.
