George Raven is a phantom born of myth. He was fired with prejudice by the CIA for being too harsh with a terrorist. But there were others who valued his talents. They scrubbed his past, named him Raven, and put him to use against America's enemies. His deep-black team has thwarted several terrorist attacks on America, and twice saved U.S. President Peter Blager from assassination. Raven and his partner, Josie Lynch, are an odd couple, a mix of darkness and light. She is a paranormal viewer, a national treasure. Raven's existence is all about violence.

The book opens with Raven and Josie isolated in a compromised safe house. They warn that a jihadist kill team is coming. The government sends an FBI counter-terrorism unit which is overwhelmed by a military force with heavy weapons. California asserts purview of the crime scene. An underground Iranian Quds base is discovered by Josie. This is an act of war, invasion, a foreign military base with WMDs on America soil. The base is protected by “Cal-Exit” State officials, Washington insiders, and Mexican drug cartels.

John D. Trudel's predictive thriller is centered around Raven, a cast-off CIA special operator whose career was saved by a mysterious professor, who has the ear of the highest echelon of the West Wing. After being sheep-dipped, Raven now runs his own black ops group with Josie, whose special talents make her a "national treasure."
