The United States maintains a military presence in two out of every three countries worldwide.
A group of rogue states has decided to put an end to this by issuing an ultimatum—the Blacklist: a terrifying countdown announcing an escalation of terrorist attacks against American interests.
Millions of lives are at stake, and only Echelon 4 can stop them.
Led by Sam Fisher, the greatest secret agent of them all, this new covert unit reports only to the President of the United States.
Above the law and equipped with the most advanced technology, Sam and his team must do whatever it takes to track down the terrorists and stop the countdown before it is too late.
Extreme situations call for extreme measures. To stop the Blacklist countdown, Sam has been given the right to kill while on a mission. But that's not all.
As the only secret agent whose actions are not bound by the law, he now uses merciless interrogation methods to extract crucial information and prevent the next attack.
Hunting terrorists to the most remote corners of the globe, Sam is engaged in a thrilling race against time to discover who is behind the Blacklist.
Directly commissioned by the President of the United States, Sam assembled the new Echelon 4 unit himself. His team, his choices.
While Anna "Grim" Grimsdottir is still responsible for operational logistics, she is now joined by CIA agent Isaac Briggs, serving as field support, and hacker Charlie Cole.
Thanks to the Paladin, a stealth aircraft equipped with the most advanced technology, Echelon 4 is a highly mobile team that can deploy anywhere in the world within just a few hours.
