Drug smugglers have claimed sections of the US-Mexico border as
their home turf, turning hundreds of square miles into a
no-mans-land for US citizens and a deadly gamut for illegal
migrants. A lack of political will has prevented any decisive
action to be taken to secure the area. That's about to change. . .
Returned from Europe after international pressure boiled up
over the way they secured the Russian chemical weapons dump, the
289th Engineer Group is sent to an isolated stretch of border in
New Mexico to serve out its tour of duty. All they thought they
would have to do is fix the fence and upgrade the road, but some in
their chain of command have other ideas. Sergeant Major Grant and
his NCOs are to secure the area, with permission to operate
secretly in Mexico. What they haven't been told is the Mexican
officer they are working with also controls the local drug trade,
and he has no plans to let the Americans succeed. It will take a
dangerous plan to take out the smuggling activity, and a lot of
luck to avoid starting a war.
