Operation S&D
About
Justice is blind. Vengeance sees only red.
I did not learn of the cold-blooded assassination of several CIA agents, who were part of the team on our previous mission, Operation DFC, until it was too late. Spencer “RedDog” Watkins and I are still alive, but our loved ones paid the ultimate price for being a part of our lives, leaving us heartbroken and consumed by an unquenchable thirst for revenge. Black Viper and Raccoon survived the first round of murders orchestrated by the de Santos cartel and were assigned to join us on a total black op, which I nicknamed Operation S&D – Seek and Destroy.
With new cover identities issued by the Agency, we slip into Central America under the guise of Lobos del Diablo – Devil Wolves Motorcycle gang. Our mission in Nicaragua, which is a tinderbox embroiled in the illicit drug trade and the internal battle between the Sandinista regime and the Contra rebels, is to report on other field operatives who are suspected of going rogue. The unofficial mission is to take down the de Santos drug cartel and leave no survivors.
The men Spencer and I used to be died with the slaughter of our loved ones, leaving us nothing more than snarling beasts stalking prey, undetected, until it is too late for the cartel to plan a counterattack. We are deadly, cold-blooded killers with nothing to lose—alive only to kill those responsible for creating us—and the damage to my soul is so severe, I trust no one.
If successful in destroying our enemies, do we dare hope their annihilation heals our traumatic pasts, or is there not enough humanity left to salvage?
Praise for this book
Operation Seek and Destroy is the result of returning from a mission and having their loved ones slaughtered. The remaining team comes together again, to seek out and destroy those responsible for those deaths – the de Santos drug cartel and those responsible for their deadly secrets. Soon, the team’s secrets will be exposed and their path to surviving and healing will become even more complicated.
The authors, Janelle Taylor and Ashley Fontainne, are masterful storytellers who have a penchant for intense and suspense-filled action narratives. The blending of romance, historical facts, and suspense was well done. They were deliberate in fully creating authentic feeling characters in which listeners experience their pain and emotional growth through happiness, tragedy, love, and forgiveness. The plot twists were often unexpected and mouth-dropping. The super/unnatural twist was well handled and encouraged a strong connection to the characters. The ending was exciting and brought the story to a satisfying close.
