Chapter One

RAIN DRIPPED IN HIS eyes, but he never lost sight of the objective. In and out. That was the plan. Locate, identify, observe, and report that’s what Staff Sergeant Mitch Sinclair’s squad of Force Recon Marines did best. Their assignment had been to uncover the truth of Kim Jong-il’s health. Was he dead or gravely ill? Rumors contaminated the media. At 0800 hours, their mission changed from green ops—collect intelligence—to black ops—direct action. Separated from returning to their battalion by a sudden surge of North Korean militant action, they adapted to the situation.

Now, their job entailed extraction of the daughter of an American scientist from the North Korean’s. With the way the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il hated Americans, Mitch found it ironic the dictator’s youngest son, Kim Jong-un, ordered the capture of an American in order to help their cause. The attempt to kidnap David Summers, creator of the highly classified MD-3 missile navigation system, failed. So instead, they took Summers’ daughter to use as leverage to gain the knowledge they desperately needed to back their nuclear claims. Intelligence out of P′yongyang helped thwart the scientist’s capture, but it came too late to prevent Jong-un’s back-up plan.  Take the only child of a widowed eccentric scientist and hold her hostage in exchange for missile guidance technology.

What the North Korean’s didn’t know...Allie Summers was the key to unlock that information. Due to her father’s high level of intelligence, he lacked focus without her at his side. That little bit of information, Mitch hoped the enemy never discovered. If they did...he sighed heavily. He hated to think what they’d do to her to obtain the secrets they wanted. Torture was a way of life for these militant groups and the North Korean’s held the charter on nasty techniques. This he’d learned from studying the Korean War and listening to stories from his uncles who were there. He never thought he’d be following in their footsteps in another disagreement with North Korea. This time the issue was nuclear.

Hopefully, he prayed, North Korea would back down from the pressure of strict sanctions from the UN. A smidgeon of doubt about Kim Jong-il’s sanity and health clouded that hope. From everything Mitch read, this dictator lacked the foresight to understand the repercussions of using nuclear weapons. Everyone suffered from the fall out and not just the country fired upon.

Now, because of this lunatic, Mitch and his squad were in North Korea’s mountainous terrain watching and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Part of him hungered for the chance to take out a few of the enemy, but the good Recon Marine in him knew his job. Get in and out without being seen or firing a shot and save the hostage from harm. Forty-eight hours was a
