Spooky 8

"In 1975, the U.S. government recruited young Army Airborne Sergeant Bob King for highly classified duty. Chosen for his superior performance in black operations during the Vietnam War, the author was hand-picked to lead U.S. Intelligence Tactical Reconnaissance Team #W45B7-S8, a.k.a. Spooky 8. For the next seventeen years, King worked the off-the-books, classified side of special operations, directing covert missions all over the world. Spooky 8 delivered equipment to government-backed rebels, kidnapped suspected foreign terrorists, and even acted as snipers, hunting down U.S. Intelligence-targeted men in Central and South America."--BOOK JACKET. "In 1992, their assignment was supposed to be an "easy breather" (a low-risk mission): travel into the Colombian jungle, set up surveillance equipment, collect their pay, and go home."--BOOK JACKET. "But the operation quickly turned fatal. When approaching their target, Spooky 8 was met with a deadly ambush. Three team members were killed and the author escaped with a bullet wound in his leg. Bob King and the four surviving members found themselves cut off from their government contacts. With nowhere to turn, they eventually struggled out of the deep Colombian jungle and made it back into the U.S., desperate and hungry for answers."--BOOK JACKET. "Running from South America to Washington, D.C., King's story shakes the foundations of our government and will forever change our notion of democracy."--BOOK JACKET.
