When the US becomes a target...and the clock is ticking...it's down to one man to save the lives of millions. The United States Military has troops stationed in over 150 countries worldwide. For a group of rogue states, this is unacceptable and a terrifying ultimatum is issued called THE BLACKLIST:. A deadly countdown of terror attacks against key US interests. With no end in sight, and no plan of action, the US government must call on one of its most potent weapons - Sam Fisher.

As the leader of the newly formed 4th Echelon unit, a clandestine unit that answers solely to the President of the United States, Sam and his team must hunt down these terrorists by any means necessary, and stop the Blacklist countdown before it reaches zero.
