FIRST CASE: January 1932. When the mutated corpse of a Federal agent turns out to be his childhood friend, Major Rick Justice, U.S. Army Air Corps, confronts a shadow group of foreign agents that has created and unleashed monstrous creatures, amalgams of rock and ice and human beings. Justice is caught in conflicts at the highest levels of the military as he struggles to stop the evil plot to discredit the United States and murder innocent civilians. In his fight, he reunites with comrades from the Great War, cultivates a team of highly-trained military fighters, and draws on the skills of remarkable civilians. But for Justice and his new-found allies, time is running out.

Their investigation points to a secret organization led by a new adversary, the treacherous and deadly woman known only as Scarlet. But, as Justice discovers, there's more to her plan than just shaking things up. The lives of thousands depend on what Intrepid does next. Action. Intrigue. Betrayal.

But they're not the only ones on the hunt and Intrepid must race against time to find the deadly axe before their shadowy adversaries do. A new member joins the team, two lost loves are reunited, and fierce internal conflicts erupt. For Intrepid, it's a dangerous time. But for Rick Justice—it's his darkest hour.
The stakes are high; the risks are great. The consequences for failure—catastrophic.
