Strike and Retrieve

A sophisticated U.S. spy plane and its pilot disappear over China . . .

FORBIDDEN CITY

A top-secret military spy plane is launched on its first test run -- flown by ace Stony Man pilot Jack Grimaldi. On the ground, Mack Bolan deals himself into a web of intrigue, espionage and blood that stretches from California to the heart of the Himalayas when sabotage puts Grimaldi down in hostile Chinese territory.

It starts with a wave of violence in the Mojave Desert as Bolan shakes down a network of Triad gangs infiltrating a U.S. air base for Beijing's secret police. Global tensions mount when a link between industrial espionage and Grimaldi's disappearance puts the state-of-the-art prototype in the hands of the Chinese. Bolan enters the belly of the beast to pull off the impossible: rescue his buddy, save the American military's next-generation aircraft -- and avert international disaster.
