“For a moment, no one moved. Chris, who was out of Hurley’s line of vision, slowly withdrew his own pistol from its holster and fired. Hurley fell forward without half his head. ‘You spat on my floor,’ Chris muttered angrily.”
Read the gripping story of a mercenary group, the Free Army Republic, as they attempt to extract the wealth of a hidden island in the Pacific and claim it as their own. It starts with a dangerous flight of a 747 to Cairo, which has all the threats of a bombing mission without the technology to self-protect. When the initial mission fails to bring the needed resources, FAR reaches out to the United States. Once the US becomes involved, a mission codenamed Operation Iron Water is launched. Thousands of men using tons of aircraft and warships, attack the Island’s military. In a bloodbath battle, the Island’s Navy is hit hard. But is it hard enough to weaken the defense sufficiently to permit an invasion? Will the United States launch the second part of their attack? If they do, will anyone make it back? Will the Island survive? Will the Free Army Republic’s spies do their job? Will the rage of a step-brother interfere with his ability to step back? Will a high-tech aircraft finally bring victory or will it turn on them?
