Sequel to <i>Ghost</i>, <i>Kildar</i>, <i>Choosers of the Slain</i> and <i>Unto the Breach</i>.</b> <p/>After saving America from Middle Eastern terrorists, even Mike Harmon and the Keldara could use a vacation. Of course, the Kildar's idea of a vacation includes taking down pirates in the Singapore Straits. But when he finds computer chips designed to run nuclear reactors in the pirate booty, Harmon has a new mission thrust upon him-discover how bottom-feeding thieves got their hands on top-secret technology. <p/>The chips are headed for newly democratic Myanmar, a country vital to American interests in the region. Now Harmon finds himself in a desperate race to learn who stole the chips and why. From glittering Hong Kong to the slums of Thailand to the swamps of Myanmar, Harmon and his Keldara team follow a trail of death and deceit across the glittering underbelly of Southeast Asia. <p/>And as the path winds through dark jungle and slave labor camps to the heart of newborn democracy, Harmon must devise a way to prevent the nasty overthrow of a nation's capital by totalitarian tyrants. But if there's one thing Mike and the Keldara specialize in, it's doing what it takes to give freedom a chance. <p/>"[Ringo's SF is] peopled with three-dimensional characters and spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse." --<i>Library Journal</i> <p/>". . .explosive. . . .Fans of strong military SF will appreciate Ringo's lively narrative and flavorful characters." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"The interstellar skullduggery is thick, and the final action sequence . . . is practically impossible not to read in one sitting. . .exceedingly impressive. . .executed with skill, verve, and wit." --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"Ringo provides a textbook example of how a novel in the military SF subgenre <i>should</i> be written. . . .
