In another action-packed thriller of unrivalled authenticity, Patrick McLanahan returns from conflicts abroad to find an undeclared war exploding on the streets of America. Now retired, McLanahan works for a company developing cutting-edge strategic devices for the armed forces. But when his rookie-cop brother is shot by terrorists, he transforms himself into a high-tech weapon of war. Protected by a new carbon-filament bodysuit that can instantly harden into stronger-than-steel armour and armed with almost superhuman powers he can barely control, McLanahan embarks on a personal mission of revenge that will send his life spiralling towards disaster.
