Marc Anderson and his two commando brothers are celebrated elite soldiers in the highly-secretive German Commando Special Forces, the KSK. Together with the American Navy Seals, they successfully rescue the crew of a downed American F-15 tactical fighter jet in the Hindu Kusch Mountains under a barrage of heavy fire against the Taliban.
However, their next mission in Northern Iraq to save two German hostages taken captive by the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, ends in disaster for the three brothers in arms. The perfectly laid-out strategy of Operation Eagle is betrayed. Marc, Thomas, and Tim narrowly escape death. The German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) begins its desperate attempt to uncover the double agent.
The devoted commando brothers decide to leave the KSK and begin a new career together as security advisors with a large family-owned company based in Cologne. But the terrorist activities of ISIS continue to determine their fate. The brothers are faced with one of their greatest challenges when ISIS kidnaps company heir Johannes Ericson and his life companion Karina Marie and threatens the German government with extortion. It is a race against time to save the couple from assassination.
Afghanistan For the last five hours, a group of six men have been trudging through the dark, barren landscape of the vast Hindu Kush Mountains. The distant howling of a lone wolf accompanies them as does the cold wind, but the men don’t seem to feel the sting. One of them stops abruptly. Marc Anderson, captain of the German KSK Special Forces Commando, raises his hand to his neck and decisively whispers into his throat mic. “George, I see her. The nose of the aircraft is at eleven o’clock, the tail at two.” George, the short, wiry Navy Seal One squad leader from Ohio, folds down the night vision lens mounted on his helmet. For whatever reason, the fighter jet did not explode, but the debris is still smoldering. “Copy that, I’ll inform Bagram Air Base.” “Charlie Force from Echo Force – over.” “Echo Team – go ahead – over.” We found the jet – now searching for the crew – over.” “Roger Echo Team – we’re waiting for your response – over.” As unorthodox as it is, the Navy Seals insisted on having German elite soldier Marc Anderson with them on the mission. He is one of the few soldiers who knows the area, located deep in the hinterlands of Afghanistan, better than anyone else on account of a number of earlier missions in the region. At only 27 years old, the tall, slender soldier from the southern German town of Calw has already achieved legendary status among the American and British Special Forces.
