Each has succeeded and moved on to careers within the framework of the contemporary world of politics, greed, and war.

During the family gathering, he receives two cryptic messages: We will come for you in eighteen hours, and We will meet in Samarkand.The intense bonds between the Gordons have never weakened, but they are tested to the extreme when they are informed that Edward has been captured by the Taliban and is being held in the mountains of Afghanistan. This final challenge threatens their deep family connections.
