Muslim raiders have destroyed a village in the Christian south of Sudan, killing men and seizing women and children as slaves. Now Jason Kromer and the Firebrand team of Christian commandos are sent into the breach. Upon their arrival, they discover just how volatile the situation really is. They defy orders--prolonging their mission to teach the Dinka people how to defend themselves. But then the Sudanese military gets involved, on the side of the slavers...a traitor may be someone close to the Firebrand team...and a member of the commando unit is nearing the point of breakdown, one that might cost the lives of everyone on the team.
