The Vice President and his teenage daughter have been abducted by a small-time militia group and held hostage somewhere deep in Hell's Canyon. As internal rivalries of the combined federal task force threaten a standoff where everybody loses, Mack Bolan goes through the back door to circumvent disaster.

Bolan realizes he's up against more than just a ragtag bunch of extremists with guns and a grudge. These amateurs are the fall guys in a brilliant conspiracy aimed at America's underbelly, delivered by an army of cut-throat mercs bought by the country's most hated enemy.

The Executioner's mission: To save two innocent lives before terror, greed and politics make martyrs of them all.
