Daniel Smith, Navy SEAL, sacrificed his life to save his men. But Smith doesn't stay dead long. Awakening in a secret government lab, he's given the chance to serve his country again--as a man made of living stone for a never-ending war against the supernatural.
Smith soon learns his secret new life is no game when he is deployed into the field in Iraq, to face a fire elemental hungry for American blood.
