A cartel kingpin. A botched raid. A blood-soaked vendetta.
When Mexico’s deadliest cartel, La Manada, spills blood on American soil, Delta Force Captain Axel Blaze gets the call. His capture cartel boss Javier Salazar and crush his empire.
No red tape. No half-measures. But when an ambush forces Blaze to pull back stateside, the cartel takes the fight across the border—hitting civilians, targeting officials, daring him to respond. Now, it’s personal.
This time, it’s not about taking prisoners—it’s about ending threats. Blaze is coming for Salazar, and he won’t stop until La Manada is nothing but a smoldering memory.
