If you’re an unscrupulous mercenary, all that matters is the bounty. But when you’re a member of the DGSE’s Action department, engaged in a clandestine operation in the heart of violence-ridden Africa, everything can change. Between respecting the rules of engagement and the need to act quickly and to the best of your ability, the dilemmas pile up. How far can you go to succeed in a secret mission without losing your soul and sinking into the abyss? From Russian mercenaries to local armed gangs, from the obscure interests of unethical multinationals to the icy strategies of the great powers, the protagonists navigate in a gray zone where danger is omnipresent, betrayals commonplace, landmarks increasingly blurred, and morals wavering. When the stakes are higher than ever, then unofficially, you might be tempted to invade Poland…
