Disillusionment قصص

They told him his father died a hero-but Staff Sergeant Royce Gallagher just learned the legend was buried alive. Abducted by foreign agents and dragged across enemy lines into war-ravaged Velmeria, Royce discovers his father has been rotting in a mafia basement for six years-collateral in a shadow war between corrupt presidents and international crime syndicates. The mission: infiltrate the Shadowstorm Mafia's stronghold with Team Ten, a unit of hardened operators who trust no one, especially not the Wisterian forced into their ranks. But the extraction is a lie. Every bullet fired, every brother lost in the blood-soaked streets of Volkov Hollow, serves a conspiracy that reaches into the highest offices of two nations. The only way out is to expose the men who weaponized his father's life-and condemn thousands more to the war that follows. Some truths are worth dying for. Others guarantee you'll never stop killing. Will Royce walk away, or has he already become the shadow he was sent to fight?
