Hackett's War

Sometimes, War Is The Only Way.

Jonah Hackett is a decorated former military officer with a long portfolio of missions accomplished and unhesitating, distinguished service to the United States of America. When his god-daughter is kidnapped by a powerful Mexican drug lord determined to seize choice offshore oil interests from an American company--and Washington refuses to lift a finger to help because of possible political repercussions--Hackett has no choice but to lead his private security team on a daring rescue mission south of the border. The drug lord proves his ruthlessness by executing the girl's boyfriend, and installs her in a heavily armed fortress protected by his army of elite bodyguards. Time is running out fast for the girl and also for Hackett's team, as corrupt local police units rush to cut the gringos off.

HACKETT'S WAR is a tense, action-driven novella that takes no prisoners--and neither does Jonah Hackett!
