In the aftermath of a devastating terrorist attack on a U.S. Border Patrol station in McAllen, Texas, Texas Ranger and Green Beret Major Jake Baylor faces his most personal mission yet. A VBIED and mortar assault kills dozens, including his best friend, Clint McNamara. What looks like a brutal cartel ambush is actually a diversion, enabling ISIS operative Abu Waleed Hassan—“The Reaper”—to slip across the border with a team of jihadists. As Task Force Raven hunts them, suicide bombers strike San Antonio’s Riverwalk, and the clock starts ticking on an even deadlier plot targeting Houston’s petrochemical infrastructure. Operating outside the lines of federal bureaucracy, Baylor and his elite team must rely on battlefield experience and blunt-force justice to stop the next attack. Gritty, action-packed, and deeply personal, REAPER fuses law enforcement and military ops in a high-stakes thriller where the mission is clear: find them—and make sure they never hit us again.
