Renegade (Called to Serve) - Softcover

Rebellious Marine Pike, on tour in Afghanistan, must rescue an American journalist kidnapped by terrorist and al Qaeda leader Zalmai Yaqub.

“A man just had to know where his allegiances were. If he’d been less of a survivor, he would have been dead a dozen times over.”

Pike Morgan doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty. His rebellious attitude and bent for vigilante justice have him on the police radar, but he’s gotten himself out of bigger trouble. Struggling to avoid any personal attachments and nervous of the roots he’s setting down against his will, Pike is eager for his next deployment with the Marine Reserve. Despite his problems with authority, Pike is a fighter, and the Marines fight hard.

On a tour of duty in Afghanistan, Pike and his squad find themselves embroiled in a heated war zone. After an American journalist is kidnapped by known terrorist Zalmai Yaqub, the whereabouts of this al Qaeda leader become a top priority for the American military. As the Marines’ rescue mission turns into a dash to avert a monumental terrorist strike, Pike finds out what’s really at stake.
