Scorpion — Kerry Newcomb

The McQueens: In their veins flowed the blood of fighters, heroes, patriots. From generation to generation, they passed on a sacred tradition of courage in defense of their country's freedom -- a tradition called The Medal.

LEGACY OF BLOOD AND SILVER

South of the border, U.S. and Mexican forces prepare for a showdown in a bitter land war. But for patriot Ben McQueen, the struggle for survival takes a more personal form. Wounded, cut off from his unit, and suffering amnesia, Ben works his way north through the rugged Sierra Oriental toward the safety of American lines. But even a man with no past has a sense of justice. So when a pretty widow seeks his aid in escaping a sadistic Mexican warlord, Ben has no choice but to help. Joined by a defiant ex•slave, Ben will confront an army of brutal killers -- only to come face to face with his own bitter past...of cowardice, betrayal, and savage death.
