Fujairah, 2026. THE HORMUZ CONTRACT Book One of The Contractor A staging cluster is assembling itself forty miles offshore, and no one can prove it's a threat until it already is. The Strait of Hormuz has become the world's most dangerous shipping lane, and Nate Priest — a former Army counterintelligence officer idle since the 2021 withdrawal — is back in the only work he's ever been good at. Meridian Strategic Solutions needs him to help protect Martin Calder, an aging energy executive who refuses to leave his own terminal while a war closes in around it.
