The Petra Deception

When a stolen military drone prototype vanishes into the deserts of southern Jordan, elite mercenary Derek Calloway is hired to bring it back before it falls into the wrong hands. What he finds is far worse than a simple recovery job. Archaeologist Zoey Bennett has uncovered the truth first: smugglers have turned an ancient Nabataean temple into a hidden, heavily armed command post. Behind it all stands Adrian Knox, a disgraced former military strategist planning to sell the stolen technology to the highest bidder at a covert gathering of international criminals.
With combat medic Owen Carlisle fighting to keep the team alive through sandstorms, canyon ambushes, and brutal firefights, Calloway and Bennett have only until sunrise to stop the auction and stop Knox for good.
