SHADOW CHASE
A high-ranking Chinese official has arranged to defect to the United States and reveal war crimes his country has perpetrated throughout Asia. But while en route to discreetly bring the official to American soil, Mack Bolan learns the man has been arrested, and the mission becomes much more urgent. And dangerous.
Bolan’s first stop, the notorious prison where the official is being held, is a trap he barely escapes. On the run through the streets of Beijing, with intelligence agents hot on his trail, time is running out to recover the defector. And when his search-and-rescue leads him to a government-sanctioned organ-harvesting facility, the Executioner adds search-and-destroy to his list of things to do before his trip to China is complete.
Diving into the back, Bolan yelled, “Go, go, go!”
Liao hit the gas, and the truck leaped forward. “They’ll never catch us now!” he shouted.
Bolan slumped against the tailgate. His leg twitched, and he felt his phone vibrating. He dug it out and answered. “We’re—”
Tokaido’s voice screamed in his ear. “Missile! They’ve locked-on an antitank missile!”
“Stop! Right now!” Bolan yelled as he shoved the phone into his pocket and grabbed the machine gun with his other hand.
The truck skidded to a halt and, as Liao turned to him, Bolan yelled, “Incoming missile—get out now!”
Liao scrabbled at the door handle and got it open as Bolan hit the ground. He made sure Liao was racing from the truck before running himself.
Bolan saw the bright flash of a missile launch and shouted, “Hit the dirt!” as he threw himself forward.
Two seconds later, the world exploded.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists. When his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

A single person can change the course of history, and when one of these people needs help, I’ll move heaven and earth to make it happen—and go through anyone who stands in my way.
