Men who were promoted to general at an early age so that they could ply their unique mental and physical talents in any way they saw fit. Men who are also best friends.There's a problem though.Jack and Jeff are off-duty.For the last two years they've been living and bickering together on Jack's ranch in the California High Sierras while Jeff tries to recover from a severe case of post-traumatic stress disorder. Jack's seventeen-year-old ward, a hellcat named Adelaide Monroe, is also on the ranch with them. Adelaide's goal is to also be a special operations forces soldier. Jack and Jeff, despite Adelaide's querulous ways, are training her towards that goal.Nothing seems more impossible than getting the three of them to leave the ranch.But then, on the morning of the anniversary of the death of Jack's wife, a mysterious blue Maybach shows up at the ranch. The Maybach's visit sends Adelaide, Jack, and Jeff off on a dangerous trail of murder and intrigue as they confront The Insurmountable Edge.
