Deep within the walls of the United States Government a threat is growing. Two evil forces are joining and a super-weapon is being devised. One of their own is selling their secrets to a traitor, codes that will enable this super-weapon to be operational. Selling them to a men bent on the destruction of every form of government, set to issue forth his own new world order with him as leader. A man with no regard for human life save his own. A man who will use any and all means to achieve his purpose and kill anyone who stands in his way. This man is Regan Taylor.

Someone at the top is helping him. Someone who should know better. Someone who was sworn in with the utmost loyalty and trust to the highest form of office. This man has no name for he has hidden his tracks and classified his dealings to the very top. However this man is selling secrets to underground factions and secret military operations united against the United States. He is suspected and feared. This man is Tantalus.

These two foes, however, have one common enemy. An Agent. An Agent that works for the top covert ops division of the CIA. This Agent has a black belt in almost every form of martial arts; a 1:1 kill ratio and temper to match her vast skills, certified sniper and has a license for an F-18. This Agent is Sheldon Alexander. Recruited from the FBI after her first six months, Agent Alexander's job in the CIA now is to track inside traitors and dispose of them before they become a liability to their government and their country. Her job is not to fail or die trying.

"Sheldon you've been over those plans a hundred times," a male voice said firmly. "What makes you think the Intel on them is correct this time?"

"Because, Director Washington my partner gave me this information. He is without question," Sheldon said firmly.

"Then I wish you and your team Godspeed," Director Washington said firmly. "May Regan Taylor rue the day he decided to take us on."

"You're sure they're coming here?"

"Not to worry Sir," Regan laughed. "I have all but guaranteed that Sheldon Alexander and her partner will be taken care of in a matter of hours. Then project Tantalus can be put into full operation."

"It better not fail," the voice said firmly.

Regan raised a glass high into the air and smiled. "To world domination…and those who fall with it."

Tantalus has to be stopped and the super-weapon destroyed. However there is another threat that is working against both sides. Someone with their own agenda. Who is it? And will they succeed? Or will Agent Alexander be able to stop them in time?
