Ghosts in the Fog tells the gripping tale of Damien Hunter as he seeks refuge in the frigid, untamed Russian-controlled Arctic, having left behind the Taipan Organisation. Scarred and traumatised from ceaseless combat missions, Damien conceals himself among the offshore workers on the Nevzgody gas platform.

For the glory of Chechnya, the fanatical separatist leader Sheikh Taimieov plans a terrorist strike against the heart of Russia’s economy. He entrusts his loyal commander, Talhig Chechenskiy, with the perilous mission in the unforgiving and unprotected Arctic gas fields.

Major Georgiy Urvantsev commands an Alpha Unit of Russia’s federal security service, the FSB. Warned of a terror attack, Georgiy feels as though he is chasing ghosts, locked in a running battle with Talhig’s fighters. He must engage all his skills and resources to defend his country.

Damien is thrust into combat when he is caught up in the assault on the platform. Unbeknownst to Damien, Taipan accepts a contract to reclaim the facility and deploys a team. Forced into a mission he wants no part of, he forms an uneasy alliance with Taipan 21 out of necessity. Unlike the men of Taipan 21, however, Damien tries to save lives while engaging the fanatical fighters.

The Russian Arctic is stained by the devastation of this conflict.
