Aware that his mission may be the country's only hope, he travels back into the jungle to destroy the lawless mastermind who dares to threaten America's very existence.

Ratings and reviews

Love the Hawke series, particularly the characters that return as Bell's unique "Band of Brothers", especially as they are different nationalities & personalities, warriors with huge hearts, ever fighting the good fight.

A so so Hawke novel that tries to use the current advances in technology to develop a pretty interesting villain. The good but not great.

International suspense thriller on multiple continents. The characters are all intertwined and are racing to stop an ideological crazy man...
