This is a strong, beautifully written adventure from an author whose previous efforts--Flames of Heaven, The Perfect Soldier, and Red Army--marked him as a rising star. American Army Colonel John Church, waiting for his retirement papers, blames himself when a team of his soldiers building a medical clinic in Bolivia is massacred by drug dealers. Church lurches into action to revenge his men and finish their mission, but all kinds of people don't want him to succeed.

From Publishers Weekly
Peters (Red Army) is closing in the big leagues of thriller writers with this convincing novel of international drug trade. After the mysterious massacre of a U.S. military team on a mission of mercy in remote Bolivia, the aging Col. John Church takes the blame. As a self-imposed penance, he also takes on the aborted mission and unwittingly becomes America's latest hero. What follows is a story of deceit, disease and despair that captivates even as it infuriates with its depiction of men betrayed. Don't be surprised if Peters's climactic battle scene, so penetratingly and movingly written, reduces some readers to tears.
