Left For Dead (ePub)

The secret mission of U.S. Marines Clint Johnson and Kaiser Hawkins in the Peruvian jungle to gather intelligence on a revolutionary group aided by a Russian cammando unit is betrayed by someone back in Washington D.C. Communist revolutionary leader, Jorge Guevara is trying to overthrow the Peruvian government, and eventually the whole of South America. He is also believed to have enlisted the secret, non-official support of the Russian government. Due to the looming national security threat posed to the United States, President Fulton has ordered the Joint Chiefs of Staff to organize a top-secret, clandestine operation to combat the posing threat. Johnson and Hawkins have been tasked with leading two reconnaissance teams into the Peruvian rain forest. Their mission: to confirm the location of Guevara's compound, the size of his militia, and the presence of any Russian military personnel. What the men don't know is that prior to dust off, they had already been betrayed. As the Marines close in on their objective, they find a heavily armed and well-prepared force. With the odds of mission compromise having increased, the teams are soon engaged by an enemy patrol probing the jungle. Compromised, and unable to immediately extract themselves from the area, the Marines now have no choice but to stand and fight. Only Clint and Kaiser escape the onslaught. Filled with sorrow and anger at the loss of their men they have a raging desire to locate and punish those who betrayed them.
