Besieged

A school under siege. A shooter in the classroom. An all-too-common American nightmare unleashed again. But this time, former Delta Captain Jake Mahegan happens to be on the school grounds checking in on the daughter of a colleague. Instead, he's staring down a suicidal gunman rigged to blow. During the standoff, another attack begins outside the school. The gunman goes down, Mahegan is knocked unconscious, and a 12-year-old autistic girl is kidnapped. Mahegan knows his mission before the smoke clears, but where it takes him is unimaginable--deep into a widespread conspiracy that threatens the nation's very core. Treason in the highest halls of government. And only one man is prepared to stop it--or die trying . . .
