A soldier's life for a fragile alliance? Not on Sherman's watch. When his sergeant is arrested for murder in Equatorial Guinea, the case looks clear cut, but Special Forces Captain Frank Sherman knows better. With mercenaries and foreign agents circling, he's not waiting for answers. He's taking his man back. Whatever it costs.

They framed his sergeant. Sherman's not buying it.

When Sergeant Raylan Gournsey is arrested for murder in Equatorial Guinea, it looks open and shut: Naked. Drugged. A body beside him. The local police waste no time calling it solved. But Captain Frank Sherman doesn't believe in coincidences.

The deeper Sherman digs, the clearer the setup becomesβ€”and the more dangerous the players. Mercenaries, foreign agents, and power-hungry politicians are all feeding the chaos simmering just beneath the surface. And Gournsey? He's just bait.

But Sherman doesn't care. He's getting his man outβ€”no matter what it takes.

Regime Change is the sixth explosive mission in the Frank Sherman Thrillers Seriesβ€”where loyalty counts, politics kill, and justice is anything but clean. Fans of Jack Reacher, The Gray Man, and Mitch Rapp will be hooked.
