A group calling itself the Engineers attacks Andersen Air Force Base in Guam and announces the Blacklist, a countdown of strikes on American targets unless the United States pulls its troops out of foreign countries. President Patricia Caldwell answers by creating Fourth Echelon and putting Sam in charge, with Grim, hacker Charlie Cole and Isaac Briggs working from the Paladin aircraft.
