.
Project Dominance Rain: an elite brotherhood of America's finest dogs of war and a hard-core cadre of the best in military intelligence. From the jungles of South America and Africa to the deserts of the Middle East, to the mysterious Orient, to our own shores, this specialized task force acts in the best interests of U.S. national security, surviving any challenge, and bringing victory at any cost. Unleashed by the President himself, this specialized commando unit contains only the most skilled commandos.
As one of Dominance Rain's elite members, Jonny Maxwell won fear and respect the world over by his actions in combat. Living legend, he helped turn Dominance Rain into America's most effective secret weapon. But now, Jonny has replaced the adrenaline rush of war with an obsession with rape, and Dominance Rain's most dangerous weapon has become America's most dangerous criminal.
Harboring America's greatest military secrets, Jonny is on the loose in Middle America, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. On his tail are Detective Nina Capushek of the Minneapolis Police Department's Sex Crime Unit, a hard-nosed cop whose beauty is most certainly deceiving, and Lieutenant Dale Miller, member of Dominance Rain and Jonny's brother in arms-and the only man with the skills and knowledge to bring Jonny down.
The number of victims is increasing, and the trail leads them to Jonny. And although Dale was brought in because he alone knows the inner workings of Jonny's mind, nothing will prepare Dale for their final confrontation. As he and Nina close in on his mentor in the dark art of special operations, Dale begins to fully understand his mission. His assignment is no longer bringing in his rogue brother. The mission is now kill, or be killed . . . .
