Lethal Agent — Don Pendleton

UNFRIENDLY PERSUASION

Driven by revenge, an ex-Soviet major is staging a strike against Afghanistan. His weapon of choice is a deadly nerve gas, concocted at the jungle base of a Laotian drug lord.

Local CIA agents don't want any interference, so Mack Bolan is caught between hostile Company operatives and Spetsnaz pursuers trying to force him out of the jungle.

It's a real squeeze play with lethal fusion possibilities. But the Executioner is at home among the jungle denizens, be they beast -- or man.
