Nolan Brice's MACV-SOG team goes back behind enemy lines carrying a new listening package, limited batteries, and injuries that have healed just enough to be dangerous.
The mission begins with hard arithmetic. Bao's ribs set the ceiling on what he can carry. Linh takes extra weight even though he is point. Armas carries the recording equipment and the radio. There are only two compasses in the entire team.
Then the insertion puts them on a ridge crossed by a route American intelligence did not know existed. Loaded enemy porters move through the exact ground the team planned to use, and the first decision of the mission becomes whether to abandon the mapped route before the patrol has even left the landing zone.
Broken Compass is Book 2 of the MACV-SOG series, a Vietnam War novel of reconnaissance, hidden routes, finite equipment, and five men operating where every map can be wrong.
Genre: Thriller
