Najeed Singh, a boring accountant is implicated in an airport bombing and is incarcerated illegally in a Military Prison holding some of the worst criminals in the United States military.
The International Organization for Mercenaries (IOM) is a modern epic about the kind of warriors there could be in the mercenary world. The story takes place in the modern world following the US occupation in Iraq, but follows its own fictional path from there. The actual organization, The IOM, is not a private military company or security consultant firm, they are a small army that directly engages their opponents, which is in contravention to the Geneva Convention, which states that the use of mercenaries is illegal. Their employers range from shadowy intelligence organizations to legitimate governments. This series shows the misadventures of this organization from its humble beginnings to its meteoric rise.
In Volume One of the IOM, prisoners escape from a secret CIA prison in Texas over the border into Mexico. This motley collection of prisoners are a mixture of former soldiers, intelligence agents and civilians who had been imprisoned for knowing something they shouldn’t. They know their freedom won’t be easy and sell their talents to the Mexican government, which wants them to secretly take down certain drug cartels by force. From there they start to form the beginnings of the International Organization for Mercenaries.
