AN AIR FORCE SPECIAL AGENT AND A TIPSY BRITISH DIPLOMAT CHALLENGE THE CHINESE MOB FOR CONTROL OF A WORLD WAR II MEGA-WEAPON.Global Hawk reconnaissance aircraft from the American Territory of Guam detect suspicious Chinese naval activity near an abandoned island airbase. Intercepted radio traffic suggests the Chinese are hunting for an Army Air Corps plane that disappeared in 1945. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations sends Agent Jack Quintana to find out why. Quintana teams up with tipsy British diplomat Thurgood Throckmorton (that's "Sir Thurgood" to you rabble) on Guam's seedy "Tumon Strip." There, they latch on to a Chinese mafia boss and chase a handful of clues to a private island, a Missouri farm, a London pub, and an uber-secret base in the Indian Ocean. Beautiful dames, island shamans, hungry sharks, Chinese paratroopers, and eighty years of history all lead to a forgotten mega-weapon and a super-power showdown in the vast Western Pacific. Early Praise for Pacific Threat FROM PAT BOONE-COUNTRY MUSIC SUPERSTAR AND AMERICAN ICON -"THIS ONE IS A REAL GRABBER" "'Pacific Threat' is a rare flight of fancy from a runway of historical fact. As the former Pacific Air Forces Command Chief Master Sergeant, I found the setting sublime; the story a bold fabrication upon the Air Force's enduring foundations in the Western Pacific. Fasten your seatbelts, ladies and gentlemen. We're comin' in on a wing and a prayer."-Rodney J. McKinley, The 15th Chief Master Sergeant of the U.S. Air Force "Move over Jack Ryan! Brilliantly spun web of international intrigue and subtle humor told with an authenticity you only get from someone who has walked-the-walk; deserving of an encore and the silver screen."-David Haney, Chief Master Sergeant (Ret.), United States Air Force "PACIFIC THREAT" is a propulsive novel about a hardboiled investigator ensnared in a disturbingly plausible web of political corruption and intrigue. It's a book you'll finish at 3:00 am with a shot of Jameson."--Matthew Gallaway, Author of "The Metropolis Case" and "#gods" "Hungry for a high-octane pulp thriller? Dive into PACIFIC THREAT and don't look back."--Charles Ardai, Hard Case Crime
