(More customer reviews)The year is 1971. American involvement in Vietnam is winding down and the United States prepares for reversion of Okinawa back to Japan. Enter Indiana Jones-like Captain Rast, fresh from his tour of duty in Vietnam, ready to begin his next adventure on "The Rock." Assigned to the top-secret "Operation Red-Hat," the removal of WMD's from Okinawa, Captain Rast is catapulted into a world of military cover-ups, renegade officers, CIA operatives, sinister drug lords, murder, firefights, and (Oh, Yes!) steamy sex.
Rast's first-rate novel, filled with colorful and sometimes loony characters, snappy and witty dialogue, and biting political commentary, is an exciting and action-packed book from beginning to end. --Diana J. Dell, author, "A Saigon Party: And Other Vietnam War Short Stories."

July, 1971. American involvement in Vietnam winds down. But other sinister events are surfacing in Asia that could lead to global conflict. United States prepares for reversion of Okinawa back to Japan. Strategic military bases are in jeopardy of being shut down after it becomes public chemical weapons have been secretly stored for years on the island along with nuclear weapons. "Operation Red-Hat" is initiated so they can be removed before reversion. There are covered-up fatalities when nerve agents leak. To complicate things, a renegade American colonel assigned to the project steals a nuclear suitcase bomb along with thirteen pounds of plutonium. Fleeing across Southeast Asia with CIA, Soviet GRU, and special "Black-Code" operatives in hot pursuit, he plans selling them to a powerful Burmese drug warlord. Teeming with firefights, drug-smuggling, love, murder, a clashing of cultures, and steamy sex coupled with off-beathumor, the gut-clutching action never ends creating an exotic atmosphere as convincing as the plot is intriguing.--This text refers to the Paperback edition.
