As James Reece discovers more about the plot and keeps digging, his family is murdered. His wife Lauren and daughter Lucy are killed by a mercenary. All this while, Reece has terrible headaches and fuzzy memory. Alpha Platoon had died after an IED went off in Syria and James Reece was himself knocked out pretty badly.

James later discovers that he has a tumor the size of a walnut in his brain and not that long to live. As he goes on discovering the people connected with the attack, he writes them on a list, that he crosses off when he takes out one of his targets. That list is 'The Terminal List'.
