Opis

It's been months since the failed Mexico mission that ended Commander Dane Stackwell's military career. Months since his team of elite operators were torn apart. Months since being disavowed by the very unit - Section 8, an ultra-top secret counterterrorist unit - he helped form. It's been months since he learned the truth.

Werewolves exist.

Still struggling to come to terms with the strange direction his life had taken, Dane spends his mornings drinking his breakfast in a rundown bar just off the Mississippi River. That all changes when a strange man with the ragged facial scar and eye patch pulls back the curtains on the truth, and the absolutely terrifying reality of the world is laid bare. Yes, werewolves are real, and they inhabit every major U.S. city along with many of the smaller ones. According to the man who insisted on calling himself Rear Admiral Bartavious Briggs, werewolves are ancient beings of chaos and destruction that feed off human suffering. Briggs also divulges another positively horrifying revelation - their numbers are growing at an unprecedented rate. Men and women - even children - who only days before were normal humans are being turned seemingly overnight.

The situation is critical.

But, this was no friendly visit. Knowing Dane's military expertise, Briggs has a proposition - join his organization and hunt down and eliminate the werewolves. In exchange, Briggs promises unbridled protection for his loved ones. Or don't, and they will all surely die in short order. With no other real option but to fight, Dane accepts.

But, what is he joining? Who is he fighting with?

Officially, they don't exist. Unofficially, they are the only chance mankind's got.

They are SKUL - a Tier 1 special missions unit so secret that only a handful of individuals at the highest level of the government have even heard whispers of its existence.
