Before he was the leader of the Fighters Against Strange Threats (FAST), Toma Popescu—call sign "Torque"—was a Navy SEAL at the top of his game. Operation Dark Tide was supposed to be his clean break: get in, capture the High-Value Target, and get out, then start the quiet life he’d always dreamed of. But in the pitch-black corridors of a Libyan compound, perfection is an illusion. When a hidden trap turns a routine extraction into a "house of horrors," Torque must risk his life—and the success of the mission—for the brotherhood that defines him. Experience the exclusive, pulse-pounding prologue to the FAST series. This stand-alone chapter tells the story of Torque's final mission—eighteen years before FAST, before the deformed creatures… Before the world broke.
