[Special Operations Group 05] • Patriot Dream

** “Kill Pope Francis” is the order given to a Russian spy. “Kill the Russian spy” is the order given to five CIA operatives...**

In Turkey, CIA intercepts a plot to assassinate a Western target. The Agency calls on Chris Paladin, Hannah Andrade, and Sonny Cohen to hunt the assassin.

Meanwhile, CIA sends brothers Max and Tom Wayne to Syria to track down a new bioweapon called BK-16. But the brothers become infected, and their mission quickly changes to finding an antidote.

Both missions lead the five CIA operatives to Italy, where they launch covert operations from a muscle yacht on the Mediterranean Sea. Soon they uncover a Russian spy, codenamed Minotaur, ordered to use BK-16 to assassinate Pope Francis…

THE TEAM

** Chris “Reverend” Paladin** left SEAL Team Six to become a pastor. Until CIA pulled him back in. He’s quick on the draw and efficient under fire.

** Hannah “Infidel” Andrade** delivers a triple knockout with her elegant smile, mixed martial arts skills and Agency tradecraft. CIA tapped her to be team leader, and she tapped her best friend Chris for this mission.

** Sonny “Sunshine” Cohen** is the insult comic who terrorizes terrorists. He is “on loan” to the Agency from the Army’s Delta Force. Also known as “Super Jew.”

** Max “Yukon” Wayne** crossed over from SEAL Team Six to the dark side: CIA’s Special Operations Group. He lost his parents and his faith, and he’ll do anything to protect the only family he has left—his brother Tom.

** Tom “Tomahawk” Wayne** is Max’s younger brother. Their Marine father taught them special ops skills from an early age, and Tom put those skills to use during a tour as an Army Ranger in the Middle East. Tom loves to read and has adorkable moments.

** And You…**
