A maniacal killer is on the loose and the SWAT team is charged with finding him and his hostage--a former love interest. Danny Weaver, SWAT's newly assigned medic, has just completed a grueling three week indoctrination course. From the outset, team leader Jack Phillips has disliked Weaver and wants him dropped from the program. Despite the antagonism, Weaver endures and completes the basic training. With SWAT having the killer surrounded, Weaver must deal with critical teammate injuries as well as Phillips' continued hostility. Can the new medic perform in the face of battle when a hostage rescue is initiated, or has Phillips been right about him all along? This page turner provides a unique window into the obscure workings of tactical medicine.
