Synopsis

The hijacking of an oil tanker off the coast of Somalia reveals an unexpected and unexplainable cargo. Discovered by a highly-trained Special Operations EOD Team sourced to take over the ship, Lieutenant John “Mako” Lang of the U.S. Navy quickly finds himself on the front lines of a fierce battle. Leading his elite unit, this warrior sees his life rocketed to fame before crashing in disgrace. Mako is then thrust into the cataclysmic plot of terrorists determined to destroy America with a single crushing blow. Fixed to the pointy end of the spear, he launches to prevent this ultimate act of treachery. From the Red Sea to the Gulf of Mexico, from Venezuela to Washington D.C., and from Cuba to San Diego, Lt. Mako Lang, the CIA, and the U.S. military scramble to unravel the plot before hell rains down on America. Complicating matters for Mako, the love of his life turns up with an unlikely influence, rekindling a fire abruptly extinguished years earlier but still smoldering. Every country has specialized military units they call upon when the world is on fire. These are the go to men for the United States: Naval Special Operations EOD. In today’s what-have-you-done-for-me-lately world, Lt. Mako Lang is the only man who stands in the way of this evil. He is the Temporary Hero.
