They came for one man. He wouldn't leave without the man sent to kill him.
Seven Americans. Two enemy pilots. One broken helicopter. Nobody is coming.
Jolly Green Two-Two goes into the Laotian mountains for a defecting MiG pilot and comes out with a
hydraulic system shot away, a holed fuel cell, and forty miles of enemy country between her and
Thailand.
She doesn't make it.
What follows is four days in a karst bowl: a crew holding a repair against a ring that grows by a
company a day, a resupply drop that saves them and gives away their position to the meter, and a
North Vietnamese colonel who buys the ground a meter a night with saps and trenches because he has
all the time in the world and they have none.
Three days out, a hundred and eight men are marching to reach them through country that kills
without help.
They will arrive. They will not be enough.
Book 26 of the Airmen series.
Genre: Thriller
