Iron Resolve

by Laura Acton

The ambush was only the beginning!Most teams would be torn apart, but will the Stirling Effect anchor Zulu? Strike Force Zulu’s mission in Mexico to capture Salazar should have been clean and fast. Instead, the team is forced into a brutal, months-long campaign against one of the world’s most ruthless cartels. Salazar’s empire of drugs, weapons, and human trafficking stretches across borders and bleeds into politics, creating hidden enemies out of allies. Each step Zulu takes forward is more dangerous than the last, demanding a price paid in blood and sacrifice. From blistering deserts to humid jungles, from cartel ambushes to choices that will haunt them forever, Zulu fights not just for survival, but for justice—for the innocents caught in Salazar’s web, and for the men who would die before they let their brothers fall.
