C.R.F.

Description

C.R.F. erupts from Colombia's cocaine shadows, snatching five DEA agents at the top-producing lab near Bogotá in a lightning abduction that hurls the Situation Room into hostage hell. Commander Nelson Guerra grips their ruthless command, channeling captives as bargaining steel while U.S. brass weighs negotiation against Special Ops strikes amid scant ground forces facing 500-plus guards. Antagonists forge narco-labs into geopolitical crucibles, their seizure flipping triumph to dread.
