It's the early 2000's in the U.S. Embassy, Algiers. U.S. military attache and decorated fighter pilot Colonel Mitch Ross needs a dose of reality and relief from the constraints and artificiality of the diplomatic life. He catches a break, of sorts, when he survives a brutal knife attack one evening after attending a diplomatic reception. Recovering in the hospital, he is nursed by the beautiful and mysterious Abella, half-French and all gorgeous. Returning to duty, Mitch is approached by the CIA and given a covert mission to rescue and bring home a downed American pilot being held by terrorists in Algiers. Mitch must find and confront the bad guys by any means possible. As he plans and prepares for the mission, Mitch and Abella become confidants and lovers, and Mitch discovers her many talents. Together with longtime friend, French Colonel Yves Dureau, and Mitch's assistant, Army Warrant Officer Dave McQueen, Mitch and Abella risk life and limb to bring the pilot to safety.About the Author: Authored by real-life veteran fighter pilot T.R.
