When a Columbian drug kingpin flies a billion dollars in cash and a plane full of hostages out of Las Vegas into Mexico, only one man can stop him--US agent West Hardin.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Drug lords forced out of Colombia and Shining Path guerrillas driven from Peru cooperate to establish a base in Mexico in this exciting techno-thriller. Key to the plan is a million dollars in drug money, to be flown out of Las Vegas with a planeload of hostages. But drug kingpin Simon Torres, in charge of the shipment, has a double-cross agenda. And the U.S. government has formed Task Force Enable to prevent the hostage-taking, recover the money and destroy the base. The clandestine operation depends on Nemesis, a solar-powered light aircraft able to land and take off almost anywhere, and to stay aloft for weeks collecting intelligence. When a Nemesis plane crashes in the Mexican jungle, the pilots, Wes Hardin and Colleen Morrison, are caught in the race between a CIA rescue team and revenge-bent guerrillas. Ing ( The Ransom of Black Stealth One ) maintains masterful control of his story line. As each subplot is resolved the reader sighs with regret, only to be swept forward into an even more suspenseful situation. The dialogue is crisp and the main characters convincingly portrayed, including a well-developed supporting cast, from an Israeli renegade agent to a Mormon archeologist. And it is refreshing to have civilian agencies like the CIA and the FBI play the central role which this genre usually reserves for the military. $75,000 ad/promo; author tour.

From Library Journal

Ing, author of the best-selling The Ransom of Black Stealth One ( LJ 8/89) has written another excellent high-tech thriller. A Colombian drug cartel wishing to develop Mexico into a major cocaine producer and members of the Peruvian senderista (Shining Path leftist political zealots) have a serious cash flow problem and are looking for ways to smuggle one billion American dollars into Central America. Their scheme is discovered in enough time for the CIA and FBI to launch an assault force. The key ingredient for the mission is Nemesis, a new surveillance aircraft made by Aerosystems Unlimited, owned by Ben Ulmer, designer of Black Stealth One. Sacrificing in-depth character development in order to expand on rich plot detail and unforgettable individuals, Ing creates a build-up of suspense until the Mexican jungle explodes into a war zone of destruction. Riveting.
