Time On Target (ePub)

Cartel honcho Diego "e;El Toro"e; Sandoval has grandiose dreams. He has handpicked from the cream of America's teenaged Latino gangs and now having trained them with all the skills of his Mexican army Special Forces background, Sandoval is about to set them loose back in the US. There they will conduct assassinations and other covert operations in support of a drug trafficking channel that will mass distribute a new designer drug - one with a high potential to kill. Daniel Brandt, former captain with the famed 5th Special Forces Group, is assigned to a CIA mission to neutralize Sandoval. Full of irremovable shrapnel from old wounds sustained in Afghanistan, the deteriorating Brandt only takes the job to serve ironically as covert staging for a personal agenda. His journey is full of stunning twists of intrigue and treachery led by his scheming CIA handler, Wayne Foster, who leaks Brandt's mission to Sandoval. Brandt escapes the cartel's trap, and then is framed with aiding Sandoval's impulsive murderous raid on the border. Now he's hunted by both the cartel and law enforcement through spectacular running battles that ceaselessly domino from one to another. As he struggles for vindication from the charges, Brandt is tortured by actions he must take while searching for reconciliation with what torments his soul. For fighting alongside of him is the reason he took the mission - Carlos, a teen he has separated from the cartel, and with whom he shares a haunted history.
