Matt Stone was Delta Force's best-until a mission in Afghanistan went wrong and betrayal from within forced him out.Now, stripped of his uniform but not his skills, Matt moves through a world of private contracts and quiet wars, where enemies wear no uniforms and every job could be his last. From the chaos of Baghdad to the backlots of Morocco, Matt is drawn into a web of violence, deception, and power where nothing is as it seems-and no one is safe.When a high-profile client is targeted and a rising Hollywood starlet becomes a pawn in something far deadlier than fame, Matt is the last line between order and chaos. Outnumbered, outgunned, and off the grid, he'll have to rely on instinct, training, and a will to survive that never left the battlefield.But there's something more on the line-something Matt never thought he'd find: a reason to come home.Fast-paced, razor-edged, and packed with explosive action, Cast Out is the adrenaline-charged beginning of the Matt Stone thriller series.
