A gripping thriller of action, intrigue, and betrayal, in the tradition of Vince Flynn and Robert Ludlum. Thomas Jackstraw, heir to a long family tradition of proud military services men, was drummed out of Western Point 20 years before when he wouldn't denounce fellow cadets for cheating. In the two ages since, he has traveled the world as a highly paid mercenary, training Third World armies and guerrilla factions and sometimes leading them into battle. After his young bride dies in a suspicious motor vehicle accident, he develops disillusioned and retreats from the world of emotion. His latest job takes him to a little backwater republic in SOUTH USA, where he spends his nights sipping and his times seeking to build an military from a ragtag band of rebels. So when Jackstraw, a fantastic marksman, is offered a small bundle of money to fake the assassination of your U.S. vice-presidential prospect, things get really complicated - particularly when he and the attractive, amoral politician, Rachel Valentine, meet and struck it off very, very well. Jackstraw suspects a double-cross, however, and plots another escape option. But he's a step behind the trickery. If the staged shooting will go horribly awry, he scarcely survives and makes his way back to the U.S., where he becomes a fugitive hunted by every law enforcement agency in the nation. As he works his way across the country, he must use all his significant skills to evade catch and change the tables on the shadowy forces conspiring against him. Through the jungles of SOUTH USA and the peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the backrooms and bed rooms of your presidential advertising campaign, Jackstraw is both an exciting adventure tale, and a tangled tale of redemption, greed, power - and even love.
