Fonko Bolo
About this ebook
After former Army Ranger Jake Fonko barely survives a journey to Calcutta, he returns to his Malibu home to recover—only to find an old CIA associate knocking at his door with an urgent mission. Communist Philippine rebels threaten critical US military bases in the region, as well one of America's staunchest allies: Ferdinand Marcos.
Blackmailed into accepting the assignment, Jake agrees to covertly stop the rising. But of course his mission isn’t really that simple—and so Jake must use his training, satirical wit and skills to prevent the rebels from seizing the country.
And escape the conflict alive.
For fans of fun, fast-moving adventures, the Jake Fonko series seamlessly blends well-researched 20th century history with equal parts white-knuckle thrills, satirical humor and explosive action. If you like Ian Fleming (Bond), John D. MacDonald (Travis McGee), George MacDonald Fraser (Flashman) or Clive Cussler (Dirk Pitt), you'll enjoy the Jake Fonko series.
NOTE: This is a standalone novel that can be fully enjoyed without reading any other books in the Jake Fonko series.
