Imad Fayez Mugniyah, the aHyena,a is the most dangerous terrorist in the world in 2007, still wanted for the destruction of the U.S. Embassy and Marine barracks in Beirut, the man who taught Osama bin Laden to use explosives, who even now coordinates and leads Iranian special operations against American troops in Iraq. With a huge bounty on his head, dead or alive, he ventures into Syria on behalf of Iranian intelligence and the Hezbollah terrorist organization to orchestrate a series of bold attacks. CIA operative Alec Carlson, a former Navy SEAL, leads Operation Death Stalker, a covert initiative to target Mugniyahas nefarious activities, search for smuggled weapons of mass destruction, and to hunt down this vicious killer in person. Stalking the elusive Hyena is more difficult than anyone imagines, though, and the deadly trail is obscured by kidnapping, gunrunners, snipers, airstrikes, commandos, assassins, a militant uprising, and a final, heart-pounding conclusion.
