About the book
It is the greatest bounty hunt in history. There are 15 targets. And they must all be dead by 12 noon, today. The price on their heads: $20 million each. Among the names on the target list, one stands out. An enigmatic Marine named Shane Schofield, call-sign: SCARECROW. And he's about to be hunted by gangs of international bounty hunters, including the 'Black Knight', a ruthless hunter who seems intent on eliminating only him. He led his men into hell in Ice Station. He protected the President against all odds in Area 7. This time it's different. Because this time SCARECROW is the target.
