Part of Oregon Files, book 17
First published 2023
Juan Cabrillo accepts what seems like a routine extraction mission in Kenya. He needs to pull an undercover operative from danger. The job quickly turns into something far more complex and deadly. A Saudi Prince has developed a plan to attack American forces using hypersonic missiles. The assault will trigger a new Middle East war and destroy Israel. Cabrillo discovers his enemies have created an army of genetically modified mercenaries. These bio-hacked soldiers possess extraordinary strength and stamina. They crave violence beyond normal human limits. The Oregon crew tracks the conspiracy from the Amazon rainforest to an abandoned Eritrean monastery. The trail leads to the mountains of Yemen for a final confrontation. Cabrillo and his team must disable the ship-killer missile before it turns the Arabian Sea into a killing field. They face their most dangerous adversaries yet in a race against global catastrophe.
