Such a situation comes in the ups and downs of life when a human gets pessimistic and he tries to commit suicide or take part in suicidal missions. Those who remain firm in such circumstances prove to be the real heroes. Christine Feehan provided the heroes with two choices in Shadow Storm and Shadow Rider to prove that the characters were not hopeless even in tough situations. GhostWalker program gets hit badly in this novel as one of the super-soldiers starts killing the rest of the band. Kadan is also one of those super soldiers and he was doing well in his mission when he was asked to abandon his mission and return to the core.
Kadan is asked to track the rogue soldier otherwise the GhostWalker program will be shut down forever. If the program is shut down then Kadan and his friends will not only lose their jobs rather they can also lose their lives as well. Having no track of the rogue one, Kadan goes to Tansy who is the best tracker that the team has.
Last mission in which Tansy took part landed her in the hospital for six months and taking her on a mission again proves to be a great risk but Kadan thinks this is one risk he has to take. Tracking down the criminal behind the murders is just the first step because catching him and bringing him to justice might not be very easy.
A super-soldier trained to perfection cannot be arrested by ordinary soldiers so a proper team is developed for this big mission. The investigation also leaks many secrets that have been kept in the dark before that.
