Publisher's Synopsis
As the fourth volume in the Jake Sloan Adventures, this classified material covers the operation known as Scud Hunter, as well as Jake's personal exploits in such places as Hawaii, Australia, and England. Jake's first solo mission involves warning a Navy officer who has been targeted by the notorious brotherhood of assassins, the Monks of Borealis. Kent Draeger shut down that nefarious order a year earlier, but a last remaining Monk remains active. See how Jake deals with the attack. Fatigue takes its toll, so the powers-that-be suggest a brief vacation in Hawaii. On the way, however, Jake makes a surprise visit to Australia to see his beloved Charlie. He is shocked to discover her romantically involved with another man! As he returns to "vacation" in Hawaii, a national crisis consumes his attention: two hostile countries are attempting a combined surprise attack on the Western U.S. using a nuclear-tipped Scud missile. Follow Jake and his friends as they uncover the plot.
