Description
Bret Lee, a professor and sometimes-citizen-spy, is on a secret contract mission to capture or kill an African terrorist leader, Jacob Kunga, along with his rag-tag army.
According to intelligence sources, Kunga is seeking to acquire surface-to-air missiles to shoot down airliners overflying central Africa, and is on the lookout for a willing arms source. Contriving to attract Kunga’s attention, Bret play-acts as a rich playboy arms dealer, gambling in Monte Carlo, Macao and South Africa casinos, hoping to “be found” by Kunga and his associates.
Bret’s wife, Chu-lin, plays the logistics and social media role for the gambit back in the states, while Zhu, her brother, joins the field mission as well, acting as Bret’s bodyguard.
Bret and Zhu are eventually escorted to Kunga’s jungle hideout in the Central African Republic for a missile demonstration. The end may be near for Kunga if Seal Team 7 and the Green Berets have their way.
Advance Praise
Chuck Van Soye keeps taking on new writing challenges, perhaps influenced by his background of serving as a chemical engineer, a participant in the sales and marketing aspect of business, and as an editor and writer for McGraw-Hill. He has written countless articles on various subjects from fact to fiction, from intrigue to expose of government and prison reform. His writing style is straightforward, no pretense, easily readable and accessible, and able to blend intrigue with warm humor.
