Charles Johnson's think tank, The Defense Foundation, was asked by POTUS to head her anti-terrorism committee.ISIL used Korean operatives to assassinate Tran Le Trang, the Vice President of Security for The Defense Foundation, with a car bomb outside a Greenwich Village restaurant in New York. He survived, but they killed his wife
Dr. Olga Romanov (the Leopard) 's intelligence organization, Wildfire, joined the President's anti-terrorism committee. Their humint asset Carlos Montoya led them to a Belgium safe house where ISIL designed the riverboat attack on the Danube River that killed hundreds of people, including POTUS's Chief of Staff, his daughter, and grandchildren. POTUS gave Charles Johnson and Dr.Romanov a sanction to kill those responsible for this heinous attack.
Wildfire's team, which included the colorful operatives Jennifer James and Carolyn McDougal, learned the Caliphate leader, Caliph Mohamed Al-Zawahiri, and his aide, Fateh Ghazali, were responsible for the assassination attempt and a rash of recent terrorism.
Wildfire uncovered an ambitious ISIL plot to attack the West Texas oil and gas industry using a three-prong plan. They planned to bomb a downtown geological convention hall and blow up an oil tank farm using RPGs. Mortar near radioactive storage sites send deadly radioactivity into the air and pollute the underlying water reservoirs.
Wildfire mitigated the terrorist attacks, and Tran and the Leopard's team methodically hunted down the perpetrators in Korea, Belgium, Syria, and Mexico.
As the story closes, Tran and Dr.Romanov, who tragically lost their families to violent extremism, grow close and become a romantic item.
