TERMINATE WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE A dying terrorist makes a last desperate bid for bloody glory on a luxury cruise ship. But what begins as a savage terrorist attack could end in a biological holocaust spawned by a KGB virus. The men of the Surgical Strike team explode into action. Babcock. Hughes. Cross. It's a reunion of the world's deadliest fighting force. Now the lives of hundreds of passengers... and five downwind nations depend on them, as the fate of the world is decided on a swaying deck, slick with blood.

The Russians, consolidating their brutal hold on America after the bloody horror of World War III, are planning an act so vicious that mankind, itself, may never recover from the blow. John Thomas Rourke, the ex-CIA Covert Operations Officer, weapons expert, and survival authority is the only one with a prayer of stopping them. But the Reds aren't afraid of Rourke. They fear the same thing he does: the imminent combustion of the earth's atmosphere into a global mass of deadly flame! Though Rourke has finally found his family, it will be a short reunion if he can't find a way to survive the Earth Fire. When all of humanity is about the burn in a hell of its own creation, it will be the final—and perhaps fatal—test of Rourke's skills as THE SURVIVALIST.
